Some people think that bacon, pork belly and prawns in a stir fry is a little over the top, but Marion doesn’t! Add a garlic marinade to give the pork a glossy, sticky texture and toss it with Hokkien noodles, cabbage and bok choy for a delicious and super-quick midweek meal.

Steps
-
Prepare the pork belly, but cutting it into 3cm wide strips. Remove the skin (check out my video recipe for tips on how to do this). Then thinly slice the pork. Place pork in a large bowl along with the garlic marinade ingredients and mix until well combined. Set aside until ready to cook.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 2 minutes until crispy. Add the shrimp paste and stir-fry until just dissolved. Then add the marinated pork and stir-fry for another minute. Then add the prawns and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes or until pork and prawns are just cooked. Add the cabbage and bok choy and stir-fry for another minute. Now toss through the noodles, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, chicken stock and the cornflour mixture. Stir-fry for another minute or until sauce has thickened slighty.

Remove from heat and serve.

Can’t wait
All of you recipes are so delicious. I love pork belly, shrimp and bacon. This is my kind of dish.
A hit with the whole family!
Made this exactly as described but doubled recipe to have leftovers for lunches. It was delicious! The sauce was sticky and flavoursome, and I loved the pork belly in it. I feel like it would work with any protein and be amazing. Hubby licked the bowl clean and for someone who claims he doesn’t like prawns, ate them without even realising.
