hey, can I grill the pork instead of cookin it like in ur instructions, Sandra? sounds yummier lol
Grillin it would add a smoky flavor, totally should work!
But wouldn’t grilling change the texture too much compared to the original recipe? Might not combine well with the noodles.
looks super easy n delicious, gonna try it this weekend, thx Sandra!
Sesame oil seems to be an afterthought in this recipe. Proper Asian cuisine would integrate it more fundamentally rather than just tossing it in at the end.
great, another recipe assuming I have like, every ingredient in my empty pantry lol
Absolutely love the step-by-step breakdown, Sandra! Made the process so much smoother. Delicious result!
