Instructions

    In a bowl, mix the pork with the concentrate, paprika, cayenne, five spice, turmeric, red pepper flakes, and salt. Let the pork marinate at room temperature while cooking the onions.

    In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and the edges start to brown, 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, lower the heat to medium, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more.

    Add the pork and cook, stirring often, until the pork is cooked through and the sauce looks rich and deeply caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Lower the heat if the bottom stars to darken too much. Stir in the soy sauce.

    For the noodles: In a pot of boiling water, cook the noodles, stirring often to prevent sticking, until tender but still chewy, 9 to 12 minutes depending on the thickness of the noodles. If the pot starts to boil over, add a cup of cold water to temper the heat of the water. Drain the noodles into a colander and rinse well under cold running water briefly. Give the colander a shake to remove excess water.

    Put the noodles in a warmed serving bowl. Pour the pork and all of the sauce on top and top with peanuts and green onions.
