I have a small confession to make. This was originally supposed to be Chinese Style ‘Beef’ and Noodles but for some strange reason I bought pork. However, I had a quick look at the ingredients Spring Onion, Ginger and 5-spice and thought it might work with Pork and it did. The picture really doesn’t do it justice. The only changes I made were the Pork of course and I substituted Pork stock instead of Beef Stock.
This recipe originally came from SOUPS FOR YOUR SLOW COOKER by Diana Peacock
Ingredients:
- 1TBSP of vegetable oil
- 5 spring onions, chopped
- 3 cm piece ginger, grated
- 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
- ½ tsp of 5-spice powder
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 2 TBSP rice wine
- 2TBSP dark soy sauce
- 1 TBSP hoisin sauce
- 1 litre of pork stock
- 1 TBSP of vegetable oil mixed with 1 TBSP sesame oil
- 400g pork cut into bite sized pieces
- 200g egg or rice noodles
Method
- Heat the oil in the slow cooker on High. Then add all of the ingredients from the Vegetable Oil to the Hoisin Sauce. Mix well.
- Add the stock and stir.
- Heat the second portion of oils in a frying pan, add the pork and cook until sealed. You could season with salt and pepper but I wasn’t sure how salty it would be with the stock and soy sauce so I didn’t. Transfer to the slow cooker, cover and cook on LOW for 5-7 hours.
- An hour before finishing, add the noodles to the cooker. We served it in large soup bowls accompanied by store bought Prawn Toast.
