Directions
- Cut pork loin into thin strips, cut 4 green onions into 2-inch long strips, and mince garlic. Transfer the pork into a large bowl for marinating.
- Marinate the pork with 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon rice wine, Maggi sauce, egg white, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of oil.
- In a pot full of water over high heat, set to boil. Add noodles to the boiling water, and cook for 2 minutes. Strain and rinse under cold water for 1 minute. Drain well.
- In a 12" cast iron pan over medium low heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add noodles and spread it evenly over the pan. Pan fry the noodles for about 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Flip it over, and do the same. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil to the side of the pan. When both sides are golden brown and crispy, set it aside on a serving plate.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Stir fry the pork until 90% cooked and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of oil again and fry ginger and garlic until aromatic. Add the pork, 1 teaspoon rice wine, mushrooms and chicken broth then stir well.
- Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, sugar, and oyster sauce. Cover the pan and simmer for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and mix well.
- Add in the bean sprouts and mix well. Turn heat to high then slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Add green onions and stir well. Pour sauce over the noodles. Serve immediately.
