Step 1

Cut pork belly into 1" pieces. Cut daikon radish, zucchini, potato, and onion into 1/2" chunks.

Step 2

Cook noodles according to packaging instructions, until al dente. Immediately rinse under cold water and drain - this will keep the noodles chewy and bouncy.

Step 3

Brown pork belly pieces over medium high heat in 1 tbsp of neutral oil for 2-3 minutes to render out some fat.

Step 4

Add vegetable chunks into pan of pork belly pieces and sauté until softened (3-4 minutes). Season with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 5

In your pan, create a small well in the center of your pork and vegetable chunks. Add black bean paste and fry for 2 minutes before mixing well with the pork and vegetable chunks.

Step 6

Add water. Cover and simmer on medium low heat for 8-10 minutes (or until vegetables are tender). Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix cornstarch, sugar, and water into a slurry.

Step 7

Add slurry into sauce and stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over noodles, mix, and enjoy!
