Return the browned pork to the pot and pour in the water or broth. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the pork is tender.

Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water if the stew has thickened.
Substitutions: You can use chicken thighs instead of pork for a different flavor profile. Vegetable broth works well if you prefer a lighter base.
Variations: Add diced bell peppers or carrots with the onions for extra vegetables. For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of heavy cream at the end.
Tip: If your flat noodles are wide, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly to ensure they cook through evenly.
