How to Make Spicy Glass Noodles With Crispy Pork Yum Woon Sen

  1. Prepare the pork belly: Cut the pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Season generously with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of fish sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  2. Prepare the noodles: Soak the glass noodles in hot water for 10-15 minutes, or until softened. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil. Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
  4. Combine everything: In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked glass noodles, crispy pork belly, red onion, cilantro, and mint. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss gently to coat.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra cilantro, lime wedges, and toasted sesame seeds (optional). Enjoy the refreshing and flavorful Yum Woon Sen!
