  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer leaves removed, finely diced
  • 1 kaffir lime leaf, tough central stem removed, very finely sliced

Steps

  1. a large pot of salted water to the boil.
  2. Place noodles in pot of boiling water. Stir, cover and turn off heat. Leave for about 7 minutes then drain well. Rinse under cold water to help prevent noodles sticking together. Snip in a few places to make them easier to eat.
  3. In a small bowl, mix all pad Thai sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  4. Pat pork dry with paper towels, season with salt and cut into thin strips. Heat oil in a wok or fry-pan on medium-high heat. Fry pork, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf and spring onions (white part) for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add carrots and continue cooking for a further 1 minute. Add bok choy, cooked noodles, spring onions (green part), mung bean sprouts and sauce. Stir-fry, tossing all together for a further 1 minute, or until pork is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Remove everything from pan onto a large serving plate, wipe pan clean with a paper towel then return pan to heat. Add eggs and cook for 1–2 minutes or until set as an omelette. Remove from pan and cut into strips.
  7. Divide noodles between plates and top with egg, peanuts and coriander (if using).
