Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice noodles

Bring a large sauce pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, then return to the pot and set aside.
While the water heats and the noodles cook, prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Prep and brown the pork

  • Pat the pork dry with a paper towel. Cut the pork crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices; season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. Do not clean the pan.
While the pork cooks, start preparing the remaining stir-fry ingredients.

3

Prep the remaining stir-fry ingredients

  • Remove the stem from the eggplant; cut the eggplant in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into 1-inch-thick strips, the strips lengthwise into 1-inch-wide sticks, and the sticks crosswise into 1-inch cubes.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Set aside the green parts for garnish.
  • Coarsely chop the kimchi.
  • Strip the Thai basil leaves from the stems.

4

Finish the stir-fry

In the same pan used for the pork, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the eggplant, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften and brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the carrots, white parts of the scallions, and pork and any accumulated juices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots and scallions are tender and the pork is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes.
Stir in the rice noodles, kimchi, and stir-fry blend and cook until the noodles are warmed through and coated with the sauce, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in the Thai basil, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the stir-fry to individual bowls and garnish with the sesame seeds and green parts of the scallions. Top with as much sambal oelek as you like and serve.
