Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil Can substitute with sesame oil for a nutty flavor
1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 pound pork mince Preferably sourced from a local butcher
3 tablespoons soy sauce Low sodium option recommended
1 tablespoon fish sauce Adds umami depth
1 tablespoon brown sugar For a touch of sweetness
7 ounces egg noodles Cooked according to package instructions
1 cup baby spinach Fresh and vibrant
1 cup bean sprouts Rinsed and trimmed
0.5 cup fresh coriander Chopped, plus extra for garnish
1 tablespoon lime juice Freshly squeezed

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the pork mince to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until it's browned and cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Let it simmer for approximately 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sugar to dissolve.
Add the cooked egg noodles, baby spinach, and bean sprouts. Toss everything together until the spinach wilts and the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh coriander and lime juice for a burst of fresh flavor.

Notes

For an extra kick, add sliced chili peppers or a dash of chili oil.
