Method

  1. Mix together the fish sauce, turmeric, lemongrass, garlic, 20g sugar, sesame oil and 1/2 the coriander. Mix the pork with the marinade and leave for 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Heat the vinegar and remaining sugar in a small saucepan. Boil until thickened for about 5-10 minutes, then cool. Add the chilli, peanuts and remaining coriander.
  3. Pour boiling water over the noodles until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain again. Dry in a tea towel and drizzle with a little extra oil to keep from sticking.
  4. Heat a frying pan until very hot. Fry the pork until browned and serve over the noodles with the sticky chilli and peanut sauce, a few coriander leaves and the mint.

    The pork was a little salty for my liking, but the sauce (which is rather delicious) managed to balance it out perfectly

    I have to say I wasn't that impressed with this dish. Pork was nice but overall for me the dish lacked flavour.

    Delicious. I added more sugar into the marinade and kept the seeds in the chillis as I like it hot.

    This is just lovely. It can all be prepared in advance so all you have to do is cook the pork when people come over. Hassle free and just that little bit different

    Great dish! I served it with Organic Black Rice Noodles and added sesame seeds to marinade and it was fresh and full of flavor. Nice summer dish.
