Sweet and Spicy Pork Stir-Fry with Noodles

Start by filling a large pot with salted water and placing it on the stovetop over high heat. Bring the water to a vigorous boil, then gently add the noodles and return it to a rolling boil. Continue cooking the pasta uncovered, occasionally stirring it with a spoon, until it reaches your desired level of doneness - still retaining some firmness in the center. Remove from heat and carefully pour it into a colander placed in the sink to drain.

In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3/4 cup of sweet chili sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, ground ginger, and a generous amount of sesame oil. Add the cooked noodles to this mixture and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce. Set the bowl aside for now.

In another large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Add the pork to this bowl and stir until it's evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the pork to sit for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate.

Heat a substantial amount of cooking oil in a wok or a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, onions, and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook until the pork is completely browned. Stir in 3 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce, napa cabbage, celery, carrots, and bell peppers. Continue cooking and stirring the mixture until all the vegetables are heated through, approximately 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this mixture to the stir-fry and continue stirring until it thickens. Finally, serve the entire dish over your cooked noodles.
