Steps

1

Finely chop the onion. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, then rinse under cold water, drain well, and arrange on a plate.
2

If you're not used to making this, you can mix the seasonings marked ★ and ◎ separately in advance to make things easier. Or just add them directly as you cook.
3

Heat sesame oil in a frying pan. Add the chopped onion and the ★ seasonings, and sauté. When fragrant, add the ground pork and cook until browned.
4

Add the ◎ seasonings and let it simmer gently. Finally, pour in the soy milk and bring to a light simmer to finish the soup.
5

Pour the soup into bowls, drizzle with chili oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired. Serve with the noodles. The soup is delicious even when cold!
6

If you prefer hot noodles, thin the soup slightly with water and briefly simmer the noodles in the soup before serving.
