Ingredients

2 servings

2 tsp neutral oil
2 shallots (diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 lb ground pork
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
freshly ground pepper (to taste)
2 portions noodles (of choice)
cucumbers (to finish)
fresh cilantro (roughly chopped, to finish)

Steps

In a pot, heat up the oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant. Add the pork and cook, breaking up, until no longer pink. Stir in the hoisin, oyster, dark soy, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Let simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Season with pepper.
While the sauce is cooking, prep the cucumbers and cilantro. I smashed the cucumbers and broke them into small pieces, but traditionally the cucumbers are julienned.
Cook the noodles according to package instructions and drain well. Toss with the sauce and serve with cucumbers and cilantro on top. Enjoy immediately.
