You’ll Need

500g pork loin or pork shoulder steaks, sliced into thin strips
250g straight-to-wok noodles
1 red pepper, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Black Pepper Sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp coarse black pepper
½ tsp white pepper
1 tbsp water
To Finish
2 spring onions, sliced
Optional but Dangerous
Chilli oil
Sesame seeds
Pickled chillies
Prawn crackers

Method

1 - Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. 2 - Add the pork strips to a bowl with half the olive oil and a pinch of black pepper. 3 - Place the pork into the air fryer basket in a single layer. 4 - Air fry at 200°C for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until lightly browned. 5 - Add the peppers, onion, garlic, and remaining olive oil. 6 - Continue cooking for 4–5 minutes until the vegetables soften and start catching around the edges. 7 - Meanwhile mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, coarse black pepper, white pepper, and water. 8 - Transfer the pork and vegetables into a foil tray or heatproof dish. 9 - Add the noodles and pour over the black pepper sauce. 10 - Toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated. 11 - Return to the air fryer for 4–5 minutes at 190°C, stirring once halfway through. 12 - Continue cooking until the noodles are glossy and the sauce clings to everything properly. 13 - Finish with spring onions and any dangerous extras you're using. Serve immediately while steaming hot.

Lad Tip: Proper black pepper noodles should make themselves known before you even take the first bite. If you can smell the pepper across the kitchen, you're in business. If it barely registers, you've been far too polite with it.
