Ingredient Notes

To make this delicious Pork Noodle Stir Fry, you will need the following ingredients (full measurements in recipe card below):

• stir-fry rice noodles - I use the Thai Kitchen brand and recommend them for this recipe.
• vegetable oil - for stir frying the noodles.
• lean pork - you can also use leftover pork cut into strip such as Vietnamese Grilled Pork.
• yellow onion or shallot
• eggs
• green cabbage
• red bell pepper - or substitute with a different colored bell pepper.
• sauce - an easy sauce made with soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, brown sugar (or honey), and chili flakes (optional for a little kick).

You will also need measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowl, and large skillet or wok.

How to Make the Best Pork Noodles

1. Soak noodles. In a large mixing bowl, soak the dry rice noodles in lukewarm water for 10 minutes (or according to the package instructions) until soft but firm. Drain and set aside. If the noodles become sticky, rinse gently with water to separate them.
2. Cook pork. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until sizzling hot, about 1 minute. Add pork and sauté until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. (You can also use leftover Vietnamese Grilled Pork in this recipe instead).
3. Sauté onions. Add onion and cook until tender, about 1 minute.
4. Add eggs. Shift the pork and onions over to one side of the skillet to make some space in the pan to crack the eggs on the other side. Add the eggs, scramble, and cook until they have thickened and there are no visible liquid parts remaining.

5. Add vegetables. Add cabbage and bell pepper and stir everything together. Cook the veggies until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Add noodles. Stir in the drained noodles and stir to combine evenly, about 1 minute.
7. Make sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until smooth including soy sauce, fish sauce, line juice, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chili flakes (if using).
8. Add sauce. Pour the sauce into the pan, toss well, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the noodles, pork, and veggies are evenly coated. You can add 1-2 tablespoons of water if desired to make it a bit more saucy.
9. Serve. Serve immediately.
