Five Spiced Pork Soba


Ingredients:
Pork tenderloin, 150g - 200g
Soba noodle, 200g
Sesame seeds, some
Spring onions, some
Oil, enough for pan-frying
some bell pepper / mange tout / carrot if you like

Marinate:
Oyster sauce, ½ tbsp
Five-spice powder, ½ tsp
Sesame oil, ½ tbsp
Soya sauce, 1 tbsp
Sugar, 1 tbsp
White pepper, a dash
2 cloves garlic (crushed)

Ginger (crushed), 1-2 cm
Red chili (crushed), I use chili flakes

Sesame Dressings:
Sesame oil, 3 -4 tbsp
Soya sauce, 2 tbsp
White pepper, a dash

Method:
1. Cut the pork tenderloin into 2-3cm thick. Put oyster sauce, five-spice powder, sesame oil, soya sauce, sugar, white pepper, garlic, ginger, and red chili in a bowl and mix with pork. Marinate for 1-2 hours or more.
2. Boil a pot of water. Cook soba noodle according to the packet. Once cooked, refresh in cold water.
3. Heat a pan, drizzle with some oil. Pan fry the marinated sliced pork for about 15 - 20 minutes or until each side is golden brown.
4. In a bowl, mix soba noodle with sesame dressings and mix. Then, top a few pieces of five-spice pork to serve. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and spring onions.

It's easy to prepare when you've pre-marinated the meat. 15minutes & done. Give it a try :)
