Instructions

Soak the mung bean noodles in cold water for 10 minutes. Rinse in cold water, drain and set aside.

In a wok over medium heat, add the oil and minced ginger. Cook the ginger for about a minute or until fragrance and add the spicy bean sauce. Cook for another minute. Add the ground pork and stir-fry until the meat is cooked through.
