How to Make Spicy Sichuan Noodles With Ground Pork

Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large stockpot for the noodles.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine, and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2 cup Asian sesame paste (or 1 cup if using a pourable consistency), 2 tbsp rice vinegar, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk in 2 cups chicken broth.
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Add the pork mixture to the skillet and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned (about 5 minutes).
Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp minced ginger, and 1 tsp red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Pour in the sauce mixture, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened (about 3 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp sesame oil.
While the sauce simmers, add 1 lb fresh Chinese noodles to the boiling water. Cook, stirring constantly, until tender (about 4 minutes for fresh, 10 minutes for dried).
Drain the noodles.
Divide noodles among bowls, top with the sauce.
Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped scallions, 1/2 cup bean sprouts, and a pinch of ground Sichuan peppercorns (optional). Serve immediately.
