  1. Heat a large dry non-stick skillet over a medium-high heat and cook the ground pork, using a spoon to break up the meat. When almost cooked, add the hoisin sauce, tamari sauce and Chinese five spice. Mix well and cook for a further 2-4 minutes then remove from the skillet. 
  2. Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to instructions on the packaging. Strain the water and reserve ¼ cup of the cooking water for adding to the sauce later. Set aside. 
  3. In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the shiitake mushrooms for approximately 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add the ginger and shallots and cook for a further 2 minutes.  
  4. Place the sauce ingredients into a small bowl and mix well to combine. Now add the sauce to the mushrooms and cook on a low heat for 2 minutes. Add in the pork and cooked noodles and mix well. Serve garnished with sliced spring onions.
