Step 1
Boil water in a large pot and cook noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Brown ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Add diced onion and potato. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion softens and potato begins to brown.
Step 4
Stir in black bean paste and 0.5 cup water until smooth. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Add cooked noodles to the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Divide between bowls.
Step 6
Top each bowl with pickled radish and serve hot.
