Dale Talde's Slippery Lemongrass Pork Noodles Recipe

We borrowed this awesome recipe for lemongrass pork noodles from superstar chef Dale Talde. You may know him from TV and...everything. We're crazy about his Brooklyn restaurants, Talde and Pork Slope, and sampled this dish at the annual City Harvest's Bid Against Hunger fundraiser (where Dominique Ansel auctioned off a dozen cronuts for a cool $14,000). But we digress. If you're into Talde's spectacular Asian cuisine and have been hankering for a hot bowl of noodles, grab a few lemongrass stalks and meet us in the kitchen.
