Step 1
Cook noodles in boiling salted water until just tender, ~4 minutes. Drain well and spread on a plate to cool.
Step 2
Whisk soy sauce, mirin, broth, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~60 seconds.
Step 4
Add pork and cook, stirring, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add noodles and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until bottom is golden and crispy.

Stir noodles, then add onion and ginger. Toss for 2 minutes until onion softens.

Return pork to the skillet. Pour the sauce over and stir constantly until it thickens and coats everything, ~2 minutes.
