Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pork and cook, breaking into small pieces, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

Add minced garlic to the pork. Stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add cooked soba, soy sauce, and chili oil to the skillet. Toss vigorously for 2 minutes until noodles are golden and crispy in spots.
