1 tablespoon vegetable oil

6 spring onions, thinly sliced

3 cup chicken stock (see recipe tip)

Method

Place noodles in a heatproof bowl. Cover with just-boiled water. Separate with a fork and drain well, then set aside.

In a bowl, combine the NZ Pork, 2 tablespoons laksa paste and 1 teaspoon fish sauce. Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls.

In a wok, heat oil on high. Cook meatballs for 4-5 minutes, tossing, until browned. Add remaining laksa paste and half the onion, then cook for 1 minute.

Add stock, coconut milk and snow peas. Cook for 1 minute. Stir remaining onion and fish sauce through.

Divide noodles between bowls and ladle laksa over. Serve topped with coriander and chilli.
