Equipment

  • frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large bowl variety of greens- kale, spinach, bok choy, cabbage, tah tsai, mizuna, etc
  • 800 grams pork loin chops about 3 medium sized chops
  • 4 or 5 fresh green beans
  • 1 or 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup jerusalem artichoke
  • 2 onions medium size
  • 1/2 cup spring onions green section only
  • 20 grams butter
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 200 grams egg noodles thin type-use more if desired

Instructions
 

  • After washing the leafy greens, slice/shred them finely with a kitchen knife then chop and dice the other vegetables- roughly 1/4 inch thin at least so they are quick to cook in the stir-fry.
  • Slice the pork into thin strips - you can cut the fat off first if you wish but I keep it on because I like the extra flavour.
  • Melt the butter in a pan (you can use a wok but any pan will do). Saute the vegetables (EXCEPT for the leafy greens) for a few minutes until they are soft.
  • Add the pork and stir-fry until the meat has browned and cooked through. Season with some salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Place the thin egg noodles in boiling water to cook so they will be ready as the stir-fry cooking is done.
  • Add the shredded leafy greens, soy sauce, lemon juice, and mix all well stir-frying briefly just until the leafy greens have wilted - do NOT overcook the greens!
  • Assemble the dish by adding some noodles to the base of the bowl, then the stir-fry, and drizzle some pan juices over the top to seep through down into the noodles on the bottom.
