Method
step 1
Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the noodles. Cook for 4 mins, then drain well, rinse with cold water and set aside.
step 2
Heat a wok over high heat and add the groundnut oil. When it starts to smoke, add the garlic, ginger, finely chopped mushrooms and shrimps. Stir well for a few secs, add the mince and stir-fry. When the meat starts to turn brown, add the rice wine and mix well. Season with the dark and light soy sauce, and toss through your pak choi before pouring in the stock and bringing it to a simmer.
step 3
After 1 min, season the pork with the toasted sesame oil, sprinkle over the spring onions and coriander, then stir in. Add the rice noodles and mix well. Serve in bowls and eat immediately, seasoned with a little more soy sauce, if you like.
