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!
