1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 scallions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, minced
1 pound ground pork
1 cup hoisin sauce
3/4 cup beer
5 tablespoons ground bean sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
1 head bok choy, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 pound fresh Chinese noodles
2 cups mung bean sprouts
1 cucumber, cut into matchstick-size pieces
2 carrots, cut into matchstick-size pieces

1
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat; cook and stir scallions, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pork; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
