Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, whisk together sesame paste, peanut butter, soy sauce, black vinegar, chili oil, sugar, Sichuan peppercorn powder, minced garlic, and broth until smooth. Set aside.
Tip: Gradually add broth while whisking to ensure a smooth consistency.
Step 2: Cook the Pork
Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook until browned. Stir in soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and five-spice powder, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Tip: Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Step 3: Boil the Noodles
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Tip: Rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Assemble the Bowl
Divide cooked noodles into serving bowls. Pour sauce over noodles, top with cooked pork, and garnish with green onions, crushed peanuts, and cilantro. Drizzle with extra chili oil if desired.
Tip: Toss well before eating to evenly coat the noodles.
