The thick meat sauce on these noodles is a bit like an Asian-style Bolognese. The cooked noodles tend to stick together if they stand for a while, so mix the sauce into them and eat right away for the best texture. For a twist, serve the sauce over rice with a side of steamed bok choy.

Ingredients

Method

Stir together broth, oyster sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, sugar, chili sauce and five-spice powder. Set aside.

In wok or large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp of the oil over medium-high heat; cook pork, stirring and breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Scrape into bowl.

Add remaining oil to wok; sauté garlic and ginger over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and bamboo shoots; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened, about 3 minutes. Add broth mixture, pork and green onions; cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, in saucepan of boiling water, cook noodles according to package instructions; drain. Divide among serving plates or bowls; top with pork mixture.
