Ingredients
3 tbsp vegetable oil
400g (14 oz) pork mince
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp Korean gochujang paste*

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan over high heat. Add the pork and spread it out. Allow it to sear for 5 minutes or until you get some nice golden brown colour on the pork. Then break it up with your spatula. Add the garlic and stir-fry for another minute. Then stir through the gochujang paste.

Add the vinegar, soy sauce and chicken stock. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then add the baby spinach and cook for a further minute or until the spinach has wilted.

Divide your cooked noodles among serving bowls. Ladle over the soup mixture. Top with spring onions and serve.
