Pork & Chorizo Stir Fry with Korean Glass Noodles

Pork & Chorizo Stir Fry with Korean Glass NoodlesThe 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
3 small Chillies, finely sliced
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Soy Sauce (Gluten free is available if required)
Oil
 
Ingredients for the stir-fry:-
 
1 large Onion, sliced
Baby Sweet Corn
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.
(5) Add the Glass Noodles to the boiling water, lower heat and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes.
(6) Fry the marinated ingredients and vegetables.
 
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

Potato and Onion Fritter recipeThese were intended to be more of a Potato Rosti but our grater wasn't up to the job so I improvised! They were actually more like an Onion Bhaji. Certainly not a disaster, but I'm good to admit an error once in a while!
 
They are there on the plates, just dwarfed by Sue's monster pasties.......
 
We served them with Sue's giant home made Cornish Pasties – Recipe here

Home made Coleslaw

2 tsp Chilli flakes
2 tsp Garlic salt
2 tsp Onion salt
2 Eggs
Oil for frying
 
Method:-
 
(1) Once the sliced Potatoes have cooled mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
(2) Form into fritters.

There is a 'Continental' shop not far from us. Next time we have a little spare cash we'll probably get a bag on Gram flour and try a proper Onion Bhaji recipe.
