Method
1. In a large heatproof bowl, cover noodles with boiling water. Leave for 5 minutes, then drain.
2. In a wok, heat oil on high. Add pork and stir fry for 4-5 minutes, or until browned, breaking up lumps.
3. Add spring onion, garlic and chilli, then stir fry for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a plate.
4. In the wok, combine sugar, lime juice and fish sauce and heat until boiling. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until reduced and sticky.
