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 (optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
directions
- 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!

I love, love, love this recipe! The flavor is delicious and it's quick and easy! I added some sliced carrots and will probably add veggies each time I make this as it ends up as a wonderful one pot meal. The only thing that would've made this better was if there was more 'sauce' and I'll work on that next time. Great recipe!! A new staple in our house!!

this recipe is really very good it is quite worth trying it has a very familiar take out flavor i used siracha instead of red pepper paste, and it gave a great subtle heat i used a leek instead of the scallions (because i did not have any) and it was great!!! i added some fresh cilantro and ginger at the end and tossed. mmmmmmmmmmm.........
