Cook the pork until it is fully cooked, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Once the pork is cooked through and no longer red, add chopped onions and scallion greens to the pan.

Add a handful of spinach to the mixture, which will disintegrate as it cooks.

Soak rice noodles in hot water until soft, then add to the pan with the pork and vegetables.

Mix everything together, ensuring the noodles are well combined with the other ingredients.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish for added flavor and mix again before serving.
