Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 2
Add pork, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until no pink remains, about 4 minutes. Push to the side.
Step 3
Add noodles to the empty side and let them sit 2 minutes without stirring until the bottom edges crisp up and turn golden.
Step 4
Toss noodles and pork together. Make a well, pour in soy sauce and mirin, and stir the mixture until noodles are glossy, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Mix cornstarch with 0.5 cup cold water until smooth, then slowly pour it in while stirring until sauce thickens and coats the noodles, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Slide onto plates. Scatter scallions on top and serve hot.
