Ingredients
-
1 lb ground pork
-
1 lb thin spaghetti or 1 lb chinese noodles
-
4 scallions, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
-
1 tablespoon red pepper paste
-
1 teaspoon ground szechuan peppercorns
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
3 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Combine the ground pork, 1/2 the green onion, 1/2 the garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
- Mix well and keep covered in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- While bringing the water for the pasta to a boil, heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
- When the oil begins to smoke, add the remaining garlic and green onion, and stir fry rapidly for 1 minute.
- Add the pork mixture, breaking the meat into small chunks as it cooks, until nicely browned (not burnt).
- Add the soy sauce 1 Tbsp at a time, tasting after each addition to make sure it's not too salty.
- Add the remaining ingredients.
- By now the water for the pasta should be boiling.
- If it isn't reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the pasta, if you don't know how, read the package directions.
- Drain the pasta, and toss it into the wok (or combine everything into a large bowl).
- Toss well to coat and to distribute the meat (it tends to fall to the bottom, you'll need a spoon to get it out with your servings).
- Goes great with scallion pancakes!
