Steps

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the noodles.
  2. While it heats, slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion and green onion; grate the ginger and mince the garlic.
  3. Make the sauce: in a bowl whisk the lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Cook the whole-wheat pasta until just tender, about 1 minute less than the package says. Drain, rinse briefly and toss with the toasted sesame oil.
  5. Heat half the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the ground pork in a flat layer and cook undisturbed 3 minutes to crisp, then break up and cook until browned and it reaches 160°F (71°C). Move the pork to a plate, leaving the pan juices in the skillet.
  6. Add the remaining half of the canola oil to the skillet. Add the red onion, red bell pepper and green bell pepper and stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes until charred at the edges but crisp.
  7. Add the ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes and stir 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Return the pork to the skillet and add the sesame-tossed noodles. Stir the sauce and pour it in. Toss 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the noodles.
  9. Serve topped with the green onion and sesame seeds.
