Tips & Notes:
- Pan-fried pork must be fried after the pot is hot so that the pork will sear and give off a good smell.
- The rice noodles must be mixed with the sauce before adding the other ingredients. This allows the rice noodles to absorb the sauce and become tasty. This is a PRO TIP from Chinese restaurants and this secret applies to all fried noodles. The sauce must be cooked before you add the rice noodles.
