Fresh Chinese Noodles With Brown Sauce

• 1/2 to 3/4 pound ground pork
• 1 cup minced scallion
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
• 1 cup chicken stock or water
• 2 tablespoons ground bean sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 pound fresh egg or wheat noodles
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. Meanwhile, put a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the pork, crumbling it to bits as you add it and stirring to break up any clumps; add half the scallion, along with the garlic and ginger, and stir.
4. Add the stock or water; stir in the bean, hoisin, and soy sauces and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 5 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat and keep warm.
6. Cook the noodles, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
7. Drain and dress with the sauce.
8. Garnish with the remaining scallion, drizzle the sesame oil over all, and serve.
9. Toss the noodles with 1 cup bean sprouts or lightly stir-fried snow peas before dressing.
10. Fresh Chinese Noodles with Chicken, or Meatless Fresh Chinese Noodles: Substitute ground chicken or turkey for the pork; or eliminate the meat entirely, sauteing the scallion, ginger, and garlic in a couple tablespoons of peanut oil.
