- 8 oz Gluten-free rice noodles
- 8 oz Ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns, ground
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce, gluten-free
- 2 tablespoons Chili oil
- 2 tablespoons Tahini (sesame paste)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 cup Chicken broth, gluten-free
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped

Instructions
Cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add ground pork to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove any excess grease.
Push the pork to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of oil, garlic, ginger, and ground Sichuan peppercorns. Stir for 30 seconds until aromatic.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chili oil, tahini, sugar, rice vinegar, and chicken broth. Pour this sauce into the skillet with the pork and stir to combine.
Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the prepared rice noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat them thoroughly in the sauce and pork mixture. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat the noodles through.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the noodles in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions and cilantro.
