Method

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat, add the pork mince, then stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it fries.
Add the garlic, ginger, white parts of the spring onion, chopped coriander stalks and Asian greens, then stir-fry for a further 1-2 minutes.
Reduce the temperature slightly under the wok or pan, pour in the black bean sauce and heatto warm through.

Fill the jar with cold water to rinse, then add to the pan with the noodles, tossing to make sure everything is coated in the sauce. Divide among 4 plates, then serve scattered with the remaining green parts of the spring onion, coriander leaves, sliced red chilli and chopped peanuts.
