Instructions

 

  • Boil a pot full of water and put the noodles in it.

  • Rinse the noodles several times under cold water; drain thoroughly.
  • Heat your wok or large saute pan over high heat for 15-30 seconds.

  • Throw in the garlic, ginger and pepper paste mixture.
  • Swirl around in the hot oil for 30 seconds.
  • Add the pork and stir it around until all the pork is cooked through and large chunks are broken up.
