Garlic and Black Bean Pork Noodle

Buying joints of meat is an extremely economical way of feeding yourself and your family. This dish was made with pork slices from a roast joint, which was the basis of a number of other meals.

It was made with the aid of a steamer. The noodles were cooked in the water in the bottom part, and the roast pork and the garlic and black bean sauce was heated in a bowl inside the top half of the steamer.

The process takes around fifteen minutes. The noodles were semi-dried and in an airtight pack. Dried noodles might take a bit longer, and require occasional stirring, which means adding some extra time for the contents of the top of the steamer. The vegetables were stir-fried in a little sunflower oil in a separate pan. These were diced celery, deseeded chilli, garlic, green beans, onion, red and yellow pepper, and spring onion. Plus a splash of vinegar. Ready in ten minutes!
