- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or pan over high heat, add the pork mince and fry breaking up the chunks with a wooden spoon until the pork starts to brown. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about a minute, then add the shitake slices and cook until the mushroom starts to soften slightly. Stir in the miso, sambal oelek, soy, black vinegar, sugar and Sichuan pepper. Toss through for another minute or two until the pork is cooked and glossy. Remove from the heat.
- Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes until they are tender but still have a bite to them. Drain and add to the serving bowls.
- Top the noodles with the pork/shitake mixture and scatter cilantro and scallions. Drizzle with crispy chilli oil and enjoy!
