The cost per serving below is generated by Whisk.com and is based on costs in individual supermarkets. For more information about how we calculate costs per serving read our FAQS
1. Reduce the sambal oelek to 1 teaspoon for barely there spicy, or increase to 6 teaspoons for very spicy!
2. This recipe will work with any medium thickness or thin noodles, dried or fresh. For fresh, use the amount as per the recipe. For dried, use 180g and prepare as per the packet directions. You can also use two instant noodle or ramen packets, discarding the seasoning packets as we’re making our own sauce!
3. Green beans can be substituted with asparagus or broccolini, cut vertically into green bean–sized sticks.
4. Ginger is optional. It brings something extra to the dish but it’s still terrific without.
5. Pork works best here, but you can also use beef, chicken or turkey.
6. A cast-iron or other heavy-based frying pan is best here so you can get a nice char on the beans and caramelise the noodles. It makes this dish! Do not use a non-stick frying pan. High heat cooking like this will ruin the non-stick coating.
