  • 1/2 cup scallions/chives, sliced (for garnish)

For the Sauce

Instructions

Preparation

Slice the pork into thin bite-sized pieces. Season with kosher salt, hot madras curry powder, and garam masala. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine green beans (or peas), sliced bell pepper, and mushrooms. Prepare udon noodles as per package instructions. If pre-cooked, set them aside for later use. In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger paste, and biryani curry paste to create the sauce.

Cooking the Pork

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of high-heat oil. Add the seasoned pork slices and stir-fry for a few minutes until browned. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Stir Frying the Veggies

In the same skillet or wok, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the prepared vegetable mix and stir-fry until tender.

Combining

Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and mix well. Return the browned pork to the skillet and combine with the veggies. If using pre-cooked udon noodles, add them now and toss to combine. If using uncooked noodles, ensure they’re cooked beforehand. Let everything simmer together for a couple of minutes to meld flavors.

Prepare the curry paste, ginger paste, and soy sauce.

Stir together the curry paste, ginger, soy sauce, and brown sugar to make the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
