Start by making garlic oil: heat neutral oil over medium-low heat and add a piece of garlic as a temperature tester.

Once the test garlic is bubbling, add the rest of the minced garlic and stir frequently until golden, then strain it out.

In the same pot, add a little water and then ground pork to cook until the pork is done and the water helps with heat transfer.

Mix soy sauce, Golden Mountain sauce, fish sauce, black soy sauce, Sriracha, brown sugar, and some liquid from the ground pork to create the sauce.

Heat the sauce until steaming, then cover it until ready to use.

Prepare fresh egg noodles by loosening and cutting them into shorter strands for easier tossing.

Blanch the meatballs in boiling water until they expand, then set them aside.

Blanch bean sprouts in boiling water for 3 seconds, then add them to a large mixing bowl.

Bring the water back to a boil, then cook the noodles according to package instructions (3 minutes for fresh egg noodles).

Drain the noodles, removing as much water as possible to prevent dilution of the sauce.

In the mixing bowl with the bean sprouts, add garlic oil, noodles, ground pork, peanuts, chili flakes, and sauce, and toss everything together.

Plate the noodles and add assorted meatballs on top, followed by cilantro and fried garlic for garnish.

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
