Cut off the stems of the shimeji mushrooms and separate them into small clusters.

[Directions]

1. Heat a frying pan over high heat, add salad oil, and add the Chinese noodles, breaking them up as you go. Cook until golden brown, then flip them over and remove from the frying pan.

2. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan, and fry the pork until it changes color. Add the bitter melon, carrots, and shimeji mushrooms and stir-fry.
