Directions:

• 1.

  Place the noodles in a large bowl and add boiling water to cover. Use tongs to separate the noodles to prevent clumping, then let sit for 5 minutes to soften. Reserve ¼ cup of the noodle soaking water and drain the noodles.

• 2.

  Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the pork and minced scallions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the pork with a wooden spoon, until browned, 6–8 minutes.

• 3.

  Add the noodles, reserved soaking water, and the chile-garlic paste to the wok and stir until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.

• 4.

  Transfer the noodles and sauce to serving bowls and top with the sliced scallion greens. Serve with more sesame oil and chile-garlic paste alongside.

• 5.

  Enjoy!
