Cooking
- Peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger, then place half in a heat-proof dish with the dried chilli, and put the rest aside for later.
- Place a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat with 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
- As soon as the oil starts to shimmer, pour it into the heatproof bowl to make a fragrant oil.
- When the sizzling subsides, add the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, then leave to sit – the flavour will get better and better.
- Return the pan to a medium-low heat and add the pork, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
- Cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy.
- To make the noodles, pile the flour into a mixing bowl and slowly add 300ml (1.2 cups) of water to bring it together into a dough.
- Knead for just a couple of minutes, or until soft, shiny and elastic.
- On a flour-dusted surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the pasta to about 2mm thick – don’t worry if it tears or looks wonky, this dough is very forgiving.
- Dust it well with flour, then loosely roll it up.
- Use a sharp knife to slice it at 2cm (1-inch) intervals, then toss it with your hands to separate the strands.
- Meanwhile, pop a large pan of salted water on to boil.
- Cut the broccoli into mouth-sized florets, cracking open any big ones (this will help with cooking time), then finely slice the stalk.
- Halve the onion, finely chop and use it in 2 ways – add ¾ to the pork now, and add the remaining to a bowl with a splash of vinegar and some salt to make a quick pickle to be used as a garnish.
- When the pork is golden, increase the heat to medium-high, and stir through the remaining ginger and garlic.
- Add the broccoli to the salted water and cook for 5 minutes, with the lid on, then remove with a slotted spoon.
- Return the salted water back to the boil.
- Add the noodles, give them a stir and cook with the lid on for 3 minutes.
- At the last minute, stir the honey through the pork (this will stop it burning) to give the meat sweetness and shine, then remove from the heat.
- When the noodles are cooked, drain and toss them with the broccoli and the flavoured oil and divide between plates.
- Pour over the pork juices and scatter over the crispy pork bits from a height.
- Bash up and sprinkle over the peanuts, scatter with the quick-pickled onions, and serve straight away.
