Instructions
  1. Cook the noodles in a saucepan of boiling water for 4 minutes, or cook or soak them according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles well and set aside.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, heat a wok or a large heavy-based frying pan until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the wok, then add the onion and garlic, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the five-spice powder and stir-fry for another minute.
  3. Add the pork strips to the wok and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the sugar snap peas and the peppers, and stir-fry for a further 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, stir well, and bring to a boil.
  4. Add the noodles to the wok, and stir and toss until all the ingredients are well combined, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve immediately.
