Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of boiling water to cook 200 grams of fresh egg noodles for 2-3 minutes until al dente, then drain and toss with 1 tsp sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp julienned fresh ginger; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 300 grams thinly sliced pork loin to the wok, spreading it out to sear for 2 minutes without stirring, then stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until pork is cooked through and lightly browned.
  4. Step 4: Toss in 4 stalks scallions cut into 2-inch pieces, stirring quickly for 1 minute until scallions are slightly wilted but still vibrant.
  5. Step 5: Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp oyster sauce, sprinkle 1/4 tsp white pepper, then add the cooked noodles. Stir-fry everything together for 2 minutes until noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
