Cooking
Combine pork with 1tbsp light soy sauce, 1tbsp dark soy sauce, 1tbsp sherry soy sauce. When well mixed, leave to stand as long as possible (form 30 minutes to overnight).
Cook and drain noodles, then rinse in cold water and re-drain. Toss the noodles in some toasted sesame oil.
Heat 2tbsp vegetable (or peanut?) oil in a frying pan/wok. Add garlic, ginger and scallions and cook for 30 seconds. Add pork mixture and stir fry for 5 minutes until the meat is well coloured.
Add tahini, chilli bean sauce, chillies and chicken stock. Fold in the noodles as cooking continues. Mixture will thicken, and can then be served (ensure noodles have been fully reheated!). Sprinkle with corriander.
