Preparation steps
1.
Break the bread into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Combine the milk and soy sauce and drizzle over bread pieces; toss to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
2.
Meanwhile, mince the whites of the scallions. Cut the scallion greens into thin rings. Remove the outer layers of the lemon grass and discard, finely chop the remaining grass. Slice the chives into finely rings.
3.
Add half of the scallion whites, lemon grass, chives, bell pepper, chili pepper, garlic, ginger to the bowl with the bread. Knead in the pork or beef, beaten egg, cilantro, and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix until fully incorporated. Using your clean hands, form into bite-size meatballs.
4.
Heat peanut oil in a wok or skillet. Working in batches, cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until cooked through and browned all over, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
5.
Cook the egg noodles in boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain well.
6.
Add the remaining scallions, lemon grass, chives, bell pepper, chili pepper, garlic, and ginger to the wok and cook briefly until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the wok with fish sauce and soy sauce. Add the the meatballs and drained pasta and toss well. Serve in individual bowls.
