Mix the top ingredients and marinate at least 30min. Meanwhile, drain the Tianjin preserved veg. Cut into small strips. Cook noodles and mix with oil to keep from clumping.

In a wok, heat oil and stir-fry preserved veg and onion for a few minutes. Add pork and cook until no longer raw. Add the rice wine and cook for a further minute. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes to develop the flavours.

Mix with noodles and garnish.
