Hope you all had a lovely Wednesday!
Here's a little healthy treat to see you through the rest of the week until the weekend.
This is one of my favourite meals up at my Dads house and is absolutely gorgeous, and surprisingly cheap! To make this for two people will only set you back at a maximum of £6! If you want to find out more read on...
Firstly you buy pork loin and trim any excess fat off of the meat with a sharp knife. Cut into medallions and place in a glass bowl ready for marinating.
**TOP TIP** When marinating always use a glass bowl- not plastic as marinating ingredients can stain!
For the marinade;
-1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
-Large splash of soy sauce
-Garlic **buy 'lazy garlic' which is fresh but pre-chopped**
-A little (or alot, personal preference) of Chilli powder
-A little oil for texture
Mix it all together with the pork and cover it with lid or cling-film and leave it in the fridge for a few hours. The longer you leave it the nicer it will taste and absorb the flavours!
Get a very hot wok and pop in the pork along with any vegetables you fancy (peppers, green beans, mushrooms) and stir fry with blue dragon stir fry sauce (there are many to choose from, this is made with spicy tomato). Be aware that the natural sugars of soy will caramelise the pork so if the pork sticks don't panic! Leave it until it releases itself or you will get rid of the caramelised flavour. Take the meat off the heat and let relax. To make the Blue Dragon fine egg noodles simply pore boiling water over noodles and leave to soak until they're cooked! Bring it all together and there we have it, a deliciously guilt free dinner made from scratch!

This looks amazing! Roughly how many calories are in it? xx
ReplyDeleteI couldn't tell you exactly Nicola, but the pork is stir- fried in the tiniest bit of oil, the rest is all marinated and cooked in sugar free sauces! The noodles are thin not medium which also makes a big difference! In a portion of medium noodles per serving it is about 178, so for thin noodles it will be a lot less as they are a lot less dense and stodgy. Calorie wise, this is a goodie not a baddie so I wouldn't worry too much about it as it's all full of good stuff. Calories can be good if used in the right way :) Hope that helps! xx
