Instructions

Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
Remove the noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, soy sauce, vinegar, ¼ cup of water, and up to half the chili crisp, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

Cook the pork & mushrooms
In a medium pot (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pork and sautéed aromatics. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil. Add the mushroom pieces; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened and the pork is cooked through.

Finish the noodles & serve your dish
Meanwhile, using your hands, carefully separate the noodles. To the pot, add the noodles, spinach, and sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the noodles are heated through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles topped with as much of the remaining chili crisp as you'd like. Enjoy!
