Steps

1

Soak the shiitake mushrooms in hot water until soft, then dice them. Marinate the ground pork with all the seasonings (except mushrooms, shallot, and garlic) for 10 minutes.
2

To make the meat sauce: Heat oil in a pan, add the shallot and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and cook until aromatic, then add the marinated pork and stir-fry. Add a little water to make a sauce if needed. The meat sauce is ready!
3

To cook the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the ban mian noodles and cook until done. Drain and rinse with cold water (for a chewier texture, optional), then briefly rinse with hot water. Place the noodles in bowls.
4

Top with poached eggs (see separate instructions if needed), dried shrimp chili (see separate instructions if needed), crispy fried anchovies, and meat sauce. Enjoy!
