Step 1

Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground pork and break it up with your spoon to brown.

Step 3

When the pork is mostly cooked, add the yellow onion and cabbage. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are mostly softened but still a bit crisp.

Step 4

While the vegetables are cooking, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small measuring cup or bowl: tamari, doubanjiang, mirin, brown sugar, and sesame oil.

Step 5

Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, or until fragrant. Pour in the sauce and add the noodles, then toss with tongs until everything is nicely coated in the sauce.

Step 6

Serve topped with lots of sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds, plus more doubanjiang if you like it extra spicy.
