Step 1.
Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Cook your noodles following pack instructions, reserving the starchy cooking water. Crush the peanuts and set aside.
Step 2.
Add a splash of vegetable oil to a frying pan set over a medium heat along with the pork mince and dark soy sauce. Fry for around 6 mins until cooked. Set aside.
Step 3.
Meanwhile, mix all the seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl. Divide this mixture between two serving bowls and add a ladle of the starchy noodle-cooking water to each bowl. Mix well.
Step 4.
Divide the cooked noodles between the serving bowls, mix everything together and top with the cooked pork mince, coriander, crushed peanuts and a drizzle of chilli oil.
