My mother inspired me with this recipe. She is Taiwanese. When I was younger she always cooked these noodles for me. Now I can cook it myself, I find it tastes even better!

Serves: 2
100g dried egg noodles
200g minced pork
½ teaspoon cornflour
2 teaspoon soy sauce
4 spring onions (finely chopped)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
50g shredded cabbage
1 small carrot (thinly sliced)
2 dried chilli (soaked and chopped)
1 teaspoon chilli sauce
2 tablespoon cooking oil
Salt and pepper for seasoning

Method:
* Cook egg noodles in a large pan of boiling water till soft. Drain and set aside.
* Mix minced pork, cornflour, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, half of the chopped spring onions, salt and pepper in a large bowl. * Divide the meat mixture into 18 portions. Shape each portion into little balls.
* Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan. Fry the pork balls for 3 minutes till golden brown. Add chilli sauce and 2 tablespoon water. Fry for 2-3 minutes until the pork balls are cooked through. Set aside.
* Heat the rest of the oil in a wok or a large frying pan. Fry garlic, chilli and spring onions without browning. Add in carrot and cabbage and stir fry for 2 minutes.
* Add in the noodles. Stir for 2 minutes. Add in the cooked meat balls and stir in the soy sauce. Stir and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy.
