1. 1Cut the pork tenderloin into 2-3 cm thick (about 3/4 inch). Put oyster sauce, five-spice powder, sesame oil, soya sauce, sugar, white pepper, garlic, ginger, and red chili in a bowl and mix with pork. Marinate for 1-2 hours or more.
2. 2Trim the snow peas and cut the carrot into thin rounds. Blanch them, refresh in cold water, and set aside.
3. 3Boil a pot of water. Cook the soba noodles according to the packet. Once cooked, drain, and refresh in cold water.
4. 4Heat a pan, drizzle with some oil. Pan fry the marinated sliced pork for about 15 20 minutes or until each side is golden brown or caramalised.
5. 5In a bowl, mix soba noodle, the snap peas, and carrots.
6. 6Drizzle some sesame dressings and mix. Then, top a few pieces of five-spice pork to serve.
