How to Make Szechuan Noodles

Step-by-Step

Heat oil in a large deep pan or wok on medium high heat. Saute scallions until lightly golden.
Add pork and break up lumps with a spatula as you stir until all has turned evenly brown and no longer pink.
Add sweet bean sauce, water, ground bean sauce, and sugar. Stir occasionally as you let sauce cook down to desired consistency, about 5 minutes. It should be pretty thick and viscous. Add sesame oil.
Serve hot over cooked noodles and garnish with cucumber and/or bean sprouts.
