Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 8 oz egg noodles and cook for 8 minutes until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp chili oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 lb ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 5 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Step 4: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the pork and bring to a gentle simmer. Add 1/4 cup water and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Step 5: Add the drained egg noodles to the skillet and toss vigorously for 2 minutes until evenly coated and heated through.
  6. Step 6: Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 tbsp sesame seeds.
