Ingredients

150 g (5oz) rice noodles
300 g (11oz) broccoli, cut into small florets
1 tsp. vegetable oil
250 g (9oz) pork tenderloin, cut into finger-sized strips
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
3 Tbsp. smooth peanut butter, we used Sun-Pat
½ tbsp runny honey
½ tbsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice, to taste
3 spring onions, finely sliced
15 g (½oz) roasted salted peanuts, optional, chopped
Lime wedges, optional, to serve

Directions

1. Step 1
  Put the noodles and broccoli into a large bowl and cover with boiling water from the kettle. Cover with clingfilm and leave to soak for 15min, stirring occasionally (to prevent the noodles clumping together).
2. Step 2
  Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the pork and fry for 3-5min, stirring occasionally, until golden. Then stir in the soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, vinegar or lemon juice and some seasoning. Keep stirring over the heat until the sauce comes together and thickens. Add 100-125ml (3½-4fl oz) water to thin the sauce down, as desired. Check the seasoning.
3. Step 3
  Drain the noodle mixture and add to the pan. Toss together with most of the spring onions. Check the seasoning and serve, garnished with remaining spring onions, peanuts and lime wedges, if you like.
