1. In a large pot of salted, boiling water, blanch the noodles for 15 to 30 seconds, just to loosen them. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the sesame oil and ginger and cook until fragrant, stirring often, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until both the ginger and garlic are golden, about 1 minute longer.
3. Stir in the chicken and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chiles, rice wine, soy sauce and sugar and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
4. Stir in the scallions and noodles and turn off the heat. Add the basil, toss to combine, season with salt and pepper and serve.

1. To a medium bowl, add the pork, ginger, garlic, garlic-chile paste, soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Add 1 teaspoon of the oil, swirl the pan to coat, then add the scallions. Cook the scallions, stirring occasionally, until they are blistered in spots and tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer the scallions to a large plate. To the hot skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil. Add the marinated pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the scallions to the skillet and toss to combine. Transfer the pork and scallions to a platter and serve. Calories per Serving: 190; Sodium: 280mg; Total Carbohydrate: 5g; Fiber: 2g; Fat: 8g
