Begin by boiling water in a large pot on high heat. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add your choice of noodles, and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 4-6 minutes. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger into the skillet with the cooked pork. Then, add 2 tablespoons each of soy sauce and hoisin sauce, along with 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and a splash of sriracha for heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add 2 cups of shredded cabbage and 1 cup of shredded carrots to the skillet, stirring everything together. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften while still retaining their crunch.

Reduce the heat to low and add the drained noodles to the skillet, gently tossing everything together. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is well coated with the savory sauce.

Once heated through, plate the delicious mixture into bowls. For a beautiful presentation, top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, a few extra green onions, and a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your quick and flavorful Potsticker In A Bowl!
