03 Method

Step 1

Make chili oil: Fit a small saucepan with a candy thermometer. Add vegetable oil and Sichuan peppercorns and heat to 325℉. Turn off heat and add red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and five-spice powder. Let oil cool completely.
Step 2

Make pork: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil. Add pork, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook until meat is deeply golden and crispy, then add hoisin sauce, vinegar, and soy sauce. Cook until all liquid has evaporated.
Step 3

Make sauce: In a large bowl, whisk to combine all ingredients.
Step 4

Cook noodles according to package instructions and add to bowl with the sauce, tossing to coat noodles in the sauce.
Step 5

Divide noodles between serving dishes and top each with pork. Garnish with cilantro, toasted peanuts, and green onions, and drizzle with more chili oil, if desired.
