2 cloves garlic – finely chopped
2 tsp peeled and finely grated ginger
1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns, crushed
¾ crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp cumin seed, coarsely chopped
2 tsp vegetable oil
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Bring large pot of water to a rolling boil and cook Grandma’s Frozen Egg Noodles according to package directions.
While noodles are cooking, mix pork, garlic, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and cumin in a medium bowl. Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add pork mixture; season with salt and pepper and cook. Stir until browned and cooked through breaking up meat into chunks, about 8 – 10 minutes.
Add broth and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors meld, 15 to 20 minutes. Add greens of your choice, scallions and soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally until greens are tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
Drain and divide cooked noodles among bowls, ladle soup over noodles and enjoy!
