Kiwi-marinated pork stir fry

For 2 people

Total time: Marinade: 30 mins | Cooking: 10-15 mins

For the marinade

• About 400g strips/chunks of pork

• 1 large garlic clove

• 1 small piece of ginger

• 1 kiwi

• Salt and pepper

• A pinch of chilli flakes

• A dash of honey

• A splash of lime juice (optional)

For the stir fry

• A pepper (any colour)

• Half a head of broccoli florets

• A packet of egg noodles

• A splash of soy sauce

• Any other vegetables you’d like to add (carrot, bean sprouts, baby corn… whatever you have!)

• A splash of oyster sauce or fish sauce (optional)

Topping suggestions

• Spring onion (green onion)

• Coriander (cilantro)

• Peanuts or other nuts

• Sesame seeds

In a large bowl, add the pork strips. Peel the garlic clove and crush it and add to the bowl. Grate the ginger (no need to peel it) into the bowl. Cut the kiwi in half and add the flesh to the bowl. Add a dash of honey, a splash of lime juice and some chilli flakes and salt and pepper. You can also add any other spices you like in a stir fry or marinade! You can play around with this marinade and add or take away as you please, depending on what you have and like. Leave the marinade for 30 mins minimum in the fridge or somewhere cool.

Heat up a wok pan or a large, deep pan with some olive oil (or sesame oil if you like the taste!) and add the marinated pork once the pan is hot. Fry them well and lower the temperature a bit. Add the pepper and broccoli, and any other vegetables you’d like to use. Add a bit of water, and chuck in the noodles. Mix everything well, and add in a splash of soy sauce and fish sauce if you like. You can sprinkle with some sesame seeds if you have them or top with some spring onion, coriander or peanuts - or all of the above!
