Place some plastic wrap on a cutting board and spread the pork out on it. Cover the pork with another layer of plastic wrap and tenderize by hitting with a rolling pin. Take out of the plastic wrap and cut into 3 inch wide strips
Shred the cabbage into 1-inch strips. Remove the tail from the bean sprouts. Ensure that the cooked noodles are untangled and loosened
Mix together the chicken bouillon, oyster sauce, and tonkatsu sauce and set aside
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a wide skillet or wok and cook the pork, for about 1 minute and then dish out. On the same wok/skillet, add the cabbage and bean sprouts in this order, frying them quickly on a high heat. While cooking add the rest of the oil as needed
