Steps:
- If using fresh noodles, rinse under warm running water. If using dried rice noodles, soak in warm water for 15 minutes to soften, then drain and set aside.
- Heat a large wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, swirling to coat wok. When very hot, toss in the noodles, and stir-fry gently for about 2 minutes, pressing them against the hot pan. Turn out onto a plate.
- Wipe out wok, then place back over high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and when hot, toss in garlic. Stir-fry briefly until garlic begins to turn golden, about 20 seconds, then add pork slices and a generous pinch of sugar. Stir-fry until meat has changed color, about 1 minute. Toss in greens, and stir-fry, pressing vegetables against hot sides of wok, until they turn bright green, about 1 1/2 minutes or more (depending on the size of your wok).
- Add soybean paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and remaining scant teaspoon sugar; stir-fry to mix. Add broth or water and cornstarch mixture. Stir, and bring to a boil. Cover, and cook until liquid has thickened slightly and greens are tender, about 1 minute.
- Use a spatula or a ladle to distribute meat, greens, and gravy over noodles. Grind pepper over generously, and serve hot with chile-vinegar sauce.
