Darina Allen: Try my pork and prawn stir-fry with crispy noodles for Chinese New Year
Stir-Fried Prawns and Pork with Crispy Noodles. From ‘How To Cook’ by Darina Allen, published by Kyle Books (2021)
I'm not sure about you but I was super happy to say goodbye to 2021 and welcome a brand-new year. It feels like we may be edging towards a much better place than this time last year so I’m brimming with optimism and enthusiasm and I’m hatching up all sorts of plans for 2022.
I’m determined to snatch any excuse to celebrate: the birds starting to sing in the mornings, the stretch in the evenings, the first primroses — always a sign St. Bridget’s Day is around the corner. We make a special St. Bridget’s Day cake, crystallise the primroses and decorate the top with the frosted flowers and freshly picked wood sorrel. It's so beautiful — you might like to make this on February 1 to celebrate our female patron saint.
