Directions

Combine the pork, soy sauce and salt in a small bowl and mix well.

Heat a wok or sauté pan until it is hot.

Add 1 cup oil and deep-fry the pork, stirring with a spatula to break it into small pieces.

When the pork is crispy and dry, about 4 minutes, remove it with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Pour off the oil, leaving 2 tablespoons in the wok.

Reheat the wok and add the garlic, ginger and scallions, and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Then add the sesame paste, soy sauce, chili oil, salt and chicken stock and simmer for 4 minutes.

Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 2 minutes if they are fresh or 5 minutes if they are dried.

Drain the noodles well in a colander.

Divide them into individual bowls or put in large soup tureen.

Ladle on the sauce.
