Step 1
Gently warm the plum jam, soy sauce, allspice and chilli powder in a small saucepan for 2-3 minutes until the jam has become runny. Leave in a warm place. -
Step 2
Heat the grill to medium, place the pork chops on foil or in a grill tray and grill for 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until just cooked through. About two thirds of the way through cooking, brush the plum and soy sauce onto each side. -
Step 3
While the pork is cooking, in a large pan of simmering water, cook the noodles for 2 minutes. Drain, toss in sesame oil and leave to one side. -
Step 4
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large pan and add the onion, chilli, garlic and ginger. Fry for a minute or two, then add the greens. Stir to combine, cover and cook gently for 4 minutes (add just a little water if the greens start to catch on the bottom of the pan). -
Step 5
Add the noodles and toasted sesame seeds to the greens, stir to combine and serve with the cooked pork chops (pour any cooking juices from the foil onto the chops).
