Pork and Mushroom Stir-fry & Cashews

Serve this pork stir-fry over a bed of crispy vermicelli. Use one portion from a pack of Changs Rice Vermicelli. To make the noodles crispy fill a medium sized pan two thirds full with vegetable oil. Cook one noodle portion at a time in hot oil. The noodles are ready when puffed, crispy and white. Use to stir through stir-frys or salads or as the base of a stir-fry dish.

Stir fry Success

Have all the ingredients ready before you start.

Heat the wok or pan over a medium to high heat for 2 minutes before adding oil, then heat oil for about 30 seconds to 1 minute before starting to cook.
Add the meat in 2 or 3 batches. Adding it all at once lowers the temp and stews the meat, making it tough.
