# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in one pan in under half an hour, leaving you more time to sit down and actually enjoy dinner.
  • The sauce clings to every noodle and vegetable, giving you that restaurant-quality flavor without any complicated techniques.
  • You can swap the protein or vegetables based on what you have, making it endlessly adaptable to your pantry.
02 -
  • The wok must be hot enough that the oil shimmers and almost smokes, otherwise the pork will steam instead of sear and lose its texture.
  • Prep all your ingredients before you turn on the heat because once you start stir-frying, everything moves too fast to stop and chop.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok when searing the pork or it will release moisture and braise instead of brown.
03 -
  • Freeze the pork for 15 minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut into thin, even pieces.
  • Use day-old cooked noodles if you have them, as they hold up better in the wok and don't turn mushy.
  • Taste the sauce before adding it to the wok and adjust the sweetness or saltiness to your preference.
