INGREDIENTS
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 400g (14 oz) pork mince
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Korean gochujang paste*
- 2 tbsp Chinese ‘chiang kiang’ black vinegar or alternatively, use regular white vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 100g (3.5 oz) baby spinach
- 400g (14 oz) cooked noodles
- finely sliced spring onion, to serve
DIRECTIONS
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan over high heat. Add the pork and spread it out. Allow it to sear for 5 minutes or until you get some nice golden brown colour on the pork. Then break it up with your spatula. Add the garlic and stir-fry for another minute. Then stir through the gochujang paste.
- Add the vinegar, soy sauce and chicken stock. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then add the baby spinach and cook for a further minute or until the spinach has wilted.
- Divide your cooked noodles among serving bowls. Ladle over the soup mixture. Top with spring onions and serve.
NOTES
- Korean gochujang is a fermented chilli paste available online or from the Asian aisle of most supermarkets.
