The star of the show were the Glass Noodles. They were a bit of a chance purchase in a local Oriental Supermarket. At less than £2 for 500g they were well worth giving a go. We were not disappointed!

 

Pork & Chorizo in a stir fry is hardly traditional but traditions are for the conventional and on a budget of £4 for 3 servings we sometimes push the boundaries a little!

 

For the Marinade:-

 

Ingredients:-

 

Sliced left over Pork Shoulder

Chorizo cut into cubes

2 Onions, diced

1 clove of Garlic, grated

Baby podded Peas (Mangetout)

1 large Carrot, cut into strips length ways

4 medium sized Mushrooms

Handful of Bean Sprouts

Oil to fry

 

Method:-

 

(1) Add all the Marinade ingredients to a bowl, mix and let rest for 2 hours.

(2) Prepare your other vegetables.

(3) Bring a pan of salted water to the boil.

(4) In a Wok or deep frying pan heat a little oil.

We added a few chopped Chillies and sliced Spring Onions to the noodles for a bit of colour. Realistically this is one of the best low cost meals we've had. We also broke convention by having Garlic bread! Recipe here
