½tsp dried chilli flakes (increase to 1tsp if you like spicy)
2tsp light brown sugar
3tbsp soy sauce
2tbsp fish sauce
6tbsp water

Method
STEP 1
In a small bowl mix together the peanut butter, chilli, sugar, soy sauce and fish sauce with a fork then add the water to loosen the mixture. Whisk together until smooth and then set aside.
STEP 2
If using dried noodles soak them in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes, drain and set aside in the sieve.
STEP 3
Fry up the pork mince over a high heat for 10 minutes or until the juices have evaporated and the pork is crisping up. (Don’t let the mince stick to the pan, add a dash of oil to loosen slightly if necessary but a dry non-stick pan will get it crispier)
STEP 4
Add the garlic and vegetables to the pan and fry for a further 2 minutes stirring continuously
STEP 5
Reduce the heat and add the noodles and the peanut sauce mixture to the pan, toss everything together and fry for a further 2 minutes or until everything is warmed through.
