Instructions
1
Prep
Mince garlic and grate ginger. Rinse ya cai and chop coarsely. Slice scallions. Crush peanuts roughly. Whisk sesame paste, chilli oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, and Sichuan pepper in a large serving bowl until smooth. Heat stock until simmering.
2
Build
Pour 300ml simmering stock into the sauce bowl and whisk until glossy. Set aside. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
3
Saute
Add pork to the wok, stir-fry 5 to 6 minutes over high heat until browned and any liquid has evaporated. Add garlic, ginger, ya cai, light soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine; toss 2 to 3 minutes until caramelised at the edges.
4
Boil
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add noodles and cook 2 to 3 minutes until just tender with a slight bite. Drain well.
5
Finish
Add drained noodles to the sauce bowl and toss to coat evenly. Spoon the spiced pork over the top. Scatter scallions and crushed peanuts over the surface.
6
Plate
Divide between two bowls and serve immediately while the noodles are hot and the broth is steaming.
