Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine ground pork, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; mix well.
  2. Heat a wok or large sauté pan over high heat until very hot.
  3. Add peanut oil to the hot wok, then add the seasoned pork. Stir-fry, breaking up the meat into small pieces, until crispy, dry, and browned, about 4 minutes.
  4. Remove crispy pork with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  5. Carefully pour off excess oil from the wok, leaving about 2 tablespoons.
  6. Reheat the wok and add chopped garlic, ginger, and scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add sesame paste (or peanut butter), remaining dark soy sauce, chili oil, remaining salt, and chicken stock to the wok.
  8. Simmer the sauce mixture for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and aromatic.
  9. Meanwhile, cook egg noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 2 minutes if fresh, or 5 minutes if dried, according to package directions.
  10. Drain noodles well in a colander.
  11. Divide noodles among 4 individual serving bowls.
  12. Ladle the hot spicy sauce generously over the noodles in each bowl.
  13. Top with the reserved crispy fried pork.
  14. Sprinkle with ground Sichuan peppercorns and serve immediately.
