This pork and veggie-packed noodle bowl will be a crowd-pleaser for kid and adult Asian food lovers alike. You'll combine mushrooms, bok choy and fragrant Asian five spice with NZ pork mince. Finished with a mouthwatering hoisin glaze, crunchy peanuts and chilli oil - if you dare! For veggie detectives at the table, you could try grating the mushrooms and thinly slicing the bok choy to make them harder to spot. This chilli oil also packs a punch - leave it off for kids or if you prefer less heat.

Ingredients

Hoisin Pork

  • 200g portobello mushrooms, roughly chopped
  • 1 drizzle of oil
  • 600g free farmed pork mince
