Instructions

b) Once hot, add the pork mince and sprinkle over the Indonesian style spice mix.
c) Fry the mince until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle. - a) While the pork cooks, halve the bell pepper and remove the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

Add the sliced pepper and cook until softened, 3-4 mins. - a) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the ketjap manis with the rice vinegar, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Squeeze in the lime juice, then combine well. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.
b) Once the pepper has softened, add the sticky sauce to the pan and bubble until thickened and glossy, 2-3 mins. - a) When the sauce has thickened, add the cooked noodles and half the peanuts.
b) Stir to coat the noodles in the sauce and cook until everything's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
c) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash more water if the noodles look a little dry. - a) Share the pork noodles between your bowls.
b) Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining peanuts for those who'd like them.
Enjoy!
