Bring the pork to room temperature. Bring 1 liter or 4 quarts of water and the sesame oil to a rolling boil in a 1 1/2 liter or 6 quart pot over high heat.

Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook them for 3 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain the noodles and transfer them to a warm bowl of sufficient size to accommodate the tossing task described in step 7. Cover bowl and reserve for step 7.

Heat the peanut oil in a wok over moderate heat.

Add the pork and stir-fry the preparation for 3 minutes, breaking up the lumps as you cook the meat.

Add the garlic, scallions, ginger, and black beans, and stir-fry the ingredients for 1 minute.

Pour the soy sauce, vinegar, and chicken stock into the meat mixture. Cook it for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Spoon the pork sauce over the noodles. Toss the ingredients before transferring them to individual bowls or plates, and serve immediately.
