Spicy Pork Noodles with Cucumber

This is like an Asian spaghetti bolognaise. We discovered a dish similar to this at China Bar, and used to eat there just for this. Then we found 2 recipes that I have copied into my recipe book. Every time we make it we can't remember exactly which recipe we used last time, so the end result is always slightly different.

Here's one recipe (hopefully the best one!)
 
Sauce:
2 TBS brown bean sauce
1 TBS Hoisin Sauce
1 TBS Shaoxing wine
1 ½ cups chicken stock

Pork:
80mL vegetable oil
5 spring onions chopped (green and white parts separated)
2 cloves of garlic
300g minced pork
500g fresh noodles
1 Lebanese cucumber, julienned

Mix all sauce ingredients together.

Fry the onion (whites) and garlic in oil for 30 seconds, then add the minced pork. Fry until brown.
Add the sauce mixture. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens. 

Season to taste with 1-2 tsp white sugar.

Cook the noodles in boiling water according to the packet instructions. 

Just before serving stir through the green parts of the spring onions and serve over noodles with cucumber.
