Ingredients

BBQ Pork

  • 1 ½ lb Pork Loin
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese 5 Spice
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce

Vegetables

  • ½ cup Sliced Onion
  • ½ cup Carrot, peeled, and cut into thin sticks
  • 1 cup Celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Cabbage, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups Bean Sprouts, washed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 150 g Dried Rice Noodles

Stir-Fry Sauce

  • ¼ cup Soy Sacue
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon White Pepper

Instructions

Pork

  • Put all of the marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag except the pork.
  • Mix well and add in the pork. Roll the pork in the marinade to coat the pork. Squeeze all the excess air out of the ziplock bag, roll and seal. Put the bag in the fridge overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°f.
  • Take the pork out of the bag and put it in a small roasting pan. Roast the pork in the oven for 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches a temperautre of 150°f.
  • Let the pork rest for at least 10 minutes then slice it lengthwise into thirds. Cut the thirds across the grain of the meat into 3-4 mm slices.
  • Use one cup of the sliced pork for the noodles and save the rest to throw in a soup or fried rice.

The Noodles

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Add the noodles to the water and cook for six minutes (or based on the package instructions)
  • Once the noodles are cooked, drain the water and rinse the noodles under cold water until cool.

The Stir-fry

  • Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil to the pan along with the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring every 30 seconds or so, until the onions start to soften, about three minutes.
  • Add in the ginger and garlic and cook for a minute or two. Then add in the cabbage, bean sprouts, and pork. Cook, stirring every minute or so for 3-4 minutes then add in the noodles and the sauce.
  • Toss all the ingredients together and cook until the noodles are hot.
  • Serve the chow mein garnished with sesame seeds.
