    THE BEST AND EASIEST noodle soup

    serves 2 (big portions)

    TV noodles crushed to small pieces (without flavouring sachet)
    1/2 TV veg stock cube
    2 spring onions finely chopped (cut with scissors)
    Drop or two of hot sauce.
    Dried parsley (1/2 teaspoon)
    Small handful of your pork meat chopped small (SEASONED)
    2 mugs of water (may want to add more)

    Bring all of the above to the boil. Turn the heat off and cover with a plate. Leave for 10-15mins (stays nice and hot and the meat gets reheated just fine).

    Serve and enjoy

    2 packs of TV instant noodles...with a bit more water. I don't consider 32.5 grams of instant noodles to be a big portion. A pack of noodles has 265 calories so much closer to a meal size.

    Fair enough but it keeps me full up, it isn't a gourmet meal just a quick easy and healthy (ish) soup to tide you over using leftover meat that may have otherwise ended up being wasted.

    I wasn't aware that the OP wanted meals from the leftover meat???

    pork scratchings: with any bits of pork, especially with skin on, and especially of fatty.
    slice into strips and slow cook whenever you have the oven on, or use a slow cooker (save bits in the freezer as you do need a decent amount) - then you will get nice fat that you can strain & use, and the lovely scrumpy bits to season and nibble on (the sprogs may even like them!)

    has just occurred to me that you are using chops (ie: loin I imagine, not spare rib) to make escalopes.
    Try asking for leg steaks instead, beat them flat.
