From the Test Kitchen

The easy sauce for this dish combines the flavors of nutty tahini, fragrant cumin, and tingly Sichuan peppercorn. We’re using it to coat fresh ramen noodles and crisp snow peas—quickly cooked in the same pot, then brought together in a pan with tender pork and a fiery bird’s eye chile.

In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pork; season with salt and pepper. Cook, frequently breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Add the chopped garlic, sliced white bottoms of the scallions, and as much of the sliced pepper as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.
