Method

  1. For the red roast pork, put all the ingredients except the pork into a shallow dish large enough to hold the pork fillet and stir to combine. Add the pork fillet and turn it over several times to coat. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour, overnight in the fridge if possible. 
  2. Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Lift the pork onto a rack set over a small, foil-lined roasting tin. Roast for 10 minutes, then lowerthe oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4 and roast for 25 minutes. 
  3. Meanwhile, put the dried mushrooms in a heatproof bowl. Pour over the hot chicken stock and leave them to soak for 30 minutes. 
  4. Remove the pork from the oven and, when cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthways, then across into thin slices. Cover and set aside. Drain the mushrooms, squeeze out the excess liquid and set both aside. 
  5. Drop the noodles into a pan of boiling water, take off the heat and leave them to soak for 2 minutes. Drain well, then toss in a bowl with the toasted sesame oil. 
  6. Heat the sunflower oil in a wok or a large, deep frying pan. Add the bacon and fry for a few minutes until crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate. Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes until golden. Add the mushrooms, garlic, ginger and chilli, then stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the curry powder and fry for 1 minute more. Add the pork, prawns, noodles, reserved mushroom liquid and soy sauce, then toss together gently over a high heat using two forks for about 2 minutes until everything has heated through. Add the spring onions, toss again, then serve.

  1. If you can’t find dried shiitake mushrooms, use dried porcini and soak them as in the recipe; or use 200g fresh mushrooms, adding them in step 6.

  2. Roast the pork the day before, then continue with the recipe.
