It’s no secret that we’re absolutely obsessed with pork. Being Cantonese gals through-and-through, we grew up eating lots of pork and revering celebratory dishes like barbecue char siu pork and crispy five-spiced pork belly. We also love the way that pork plays a starring role on dim sum menus, from open-topped siu mai dumplings to fluffy roast pork buns.
With such a tasty list of special and indulgent pork dishes, you’d be forgiven for thinking that we reserve pork for banqueting and special occasions – the kind of thing that we only have when we eat out or have loads of time to cook. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! In fact, we reckon that pork is just as brilliant when you want to rustle up quick and tasty midweek meals.
Whenever we cook with pork during the week we tend to reach for a succulent, lean and quick-to-cook cut like pork loin medallions. They’re really easy to use and respond well to our quick Cantonese-style marinade for extra tenderness and flavour. You can find loin medallions in most supermarkets nowadays, but if you’re having trouble you can simply pick up pork steaks and trim off the fat.
To show you guys how easy it is to cook with pork medallions, we recently had a fun day teaching the super lovely Sarah from Taming Twins how to make our speedy stir-fry pork noodles. With just a handful of ingredients, including loads of crunchy and colourful veg, these noodles are a healthy and comforting midweek option that goes from wok to dinner table in a matter of moments. They also make for a nice change from your bog-standard chicken stir-fry, and we guarantee they’ll be a hit with the whole family.
