Strewed pork and cabbage bee hoon

Felt really tired after the annual (or biannual) weed spraying but still needed to prepare dinner. Have a sad half a head of cabbage sutting in the fridge and a can of stewed pork specially bought some time back just for such an occasion. 

Adapted from this recipe: http://thedomesticgoddesswannabe.com/2013/06/fried-bee-hoon-with-cabbage-and-stewed-pork/
I didn't stir fry the noodles but tossed it like a salad. Used the microwave to heat up the stewed pork and cook the cabbage.

Ingredients
1 can of stewed pork
½ head of cabbage, chopped
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
3 tbsp light soya sauce
2 tbsp Chinese rice cooking wine

Method
1) Boil a kettle of water and pour into a big bowl. Soak the bee hoon for 10 minutes, not too long or it will fall apart when u toss it. 
2) Pour the can of stewed pork into a deep microwavable bowl. I used a pyrex. Remove as much oil as possible. It would have coagulated on the top.
3) Add the minced garlic and ginger to the stewed pork, along with the cabbage. Toss through and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Stir and microwave for another 5 minutes on medium high. Stir to incorporate.
4) Drain the bee hoon but reserve 1 cup of the soaking water.
5) In the big bowl, toss through stewed pork mixture with the bee hoon till well incorporated but be careful not to break up the bee hoon.
6) Serve immediately.
