   Cut the pork into equal portions, then slice and finally shred. Season with salt, sugar, white pepper, sake and soy sauce, rubbing thoroughly to marinate. Add cornstarch slurry to maintain tenderness, then finish with sesame oil for aroma. Place in a vacuum-sealed container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to infuse flavors.

   Add the pan-fried noodles to the wok and gently mix. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir until the noodles and ingredients absorb the flavor evenly. Since the noodles are already cooked, avoid prolonged heating; reduce heat once the sauce is absorbed.
