Ground Pork Chili Garlic Noodles

This is a 15-minute stir-fry that moves very quickly once you start cooking, so having all your ingredients prepped and next to the stove is essential. The process is about rapidly building a flavor base in the wok with aromatics and spices, then quickly combining everything so the vegetables stay crisp.
