Ingredients

3 x 74g packets Oriental-flavoured 2 Minute noodles

3 eggs, lightly beaten

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Lime halves, to serve

HOISIN PORK

500g pork mince

1 clove garlic, crushed

200g mushrooms, sliced

150g green beans, thinly sliced diagonally

227g can water chestnut slices, drained

¼ cup hoisin sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce

1/3 cup chopped fresh coriander, plus extra to garnish

Method

Step 1

Break noodle cakes into small pieces. Add noodles and two flavour sachets to a large saucepan of boiling water. Boil for 2 mins. Drain. Cool for 15 mins.

Step 2

Whisk eggs with the remaining flavour sachet in a large bowl. Stir in onions and noodles.

Step 3

Heat an oiled, large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add ¾ cup noodle mixture. Spread into a 14cm round. Cook for 2 mins, or until golden underneath. Turn. Cook the other side for a further 2 mins, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to an oven tray lined with baking paper. Repeat to make another three pancakes. Cover the tray with foil. Place in a 150°C preheated oven to keep pancakes warm.

Step 4

For the Hoisin Pork, heat same pan over a medium-high heat. Add mince and garlic. Cook, stirring to break up mince, for about 6 mins, or until changed in colour. Add mushrooms, beans, and water chestnuts. Cook, stirring, for a further 2-3 mins, or until mushrooms are just tender. Add sauces blended with ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring until combined. Remove. Stir in coriander.

Step 5

Serve hot mince mixture over pancakes. Garnish with coriander. Serve with lime.
