Pork & Chorizo Stir Fry with Korean Glass Noodles

Pork & Chorizo Stir Fry with Korean Glass NoodlesThe star of the show were the Glass Noodles. They were a bit of a chance purchase in a local Oriental Supermarket. At less than £2 for 500g they were well worth giving a go. We were not disappointed!
 
Pork & Chorizo in a stir fry is hardly traditional but traditions are for the conventional and on a budget of £4 for 3 servings we sometimes push the boundaries a little!
 
For the Marinade:-
 
Ingredients:-
 
Sliced left over Pork Shoulder
Chorizo cut into cubes
2 Onions, diced
1 clove of Garlic, grated
3 small Chillies, finely sliced
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Soy Sauce (Gluten free is available if required)
Oil
 
Ingredients for the stir-fry:-
 
1 large Onion, sliced
Baby Sweet Corn
Baby podded Peas (Mangetout)
1 large Carrot, cut into strips length ways
4 medium sized Mushrooms
Handful of Bean Sprouts
Oil to fry
 
Method:-
 
(1) Add all the Marinade ingredients to a bowl, mix and let rest for 2 hours.
(2) Prepare your other vegetables.
(3) Bring a pan of salted water to the boil.
(4) In a Wok or deep frying pan heat a little oil.
(5) Add the Glass Noodles to the boiling water, lower heat and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes.
(6) Fry the marinated ingredients and vegetables.
 
We added a few chopped Chillies and sliced Spring Onions to the noodles for a bit of colour. Realistically this is one of the best low cost meals we've had. We also broke convention by having Garlic bread! Recipe here

Mini Monster Turkey Burgers with Chilli Sauce

When we have a burger it’s usually an opportunity for mischief and we often end up creating some remodelled “Monster Burger” So as Sue only had ½ a home made Gluten free bun in the freezer we though we should behave and go for the “Mini Monster” version. We still didn’t eat it all. Burger for breakfast it is then!!!!

The Burgers were in the discount at £1.35 for 4. They were labelled “Thai Chilli”. Well who knows? Sue made a Chilli sauce.

Ingredients:-

Tomato Puree
Tomato Sauce
White Wine Vinegar
Fresh ground Black Pepper
Incredibly hot Chilli flakes we bought at the Continental Shop…..

We used our now memorised and almost automated Bhaji batter for the Onion Rings:-

Ingredients:-

100g Gram flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp Chilli flakes
1 tsp ground Cloves
½ tsp Turmeric
Salt

The Burgers themselves had Mayo on the bun base, Salad, Gherkins, a Burger topped with Bacon, a little Chilli Sauce and melted Cheese. With the Burger repeated and then the bun lid added. The Skewer was needed or the whole thing would have collapsed, but the Onion ring on top was just for fun!

Served with a few home cut chips this whole creation was probably less than £3 for both of us…..
