Instructions
- Boil the noodles according to package instructions. When it's time to drain, set aside ½ cup of the noodle water to use in the sauce.
- Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook while occasionally breaking up with a spatula until brown and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. You can drain some of the oil out at this point or leave it in for a richer flavor.
- Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red pepper and cook for another minute. Push the meat over to the side and whisk in the noodle water, soy sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, and honey until smooth.
