Sweet and Spicy Pork and Napa Cabbage Stir-Fry with Spicy Noodles

Description

The Thai sweet chili sauce gives this dish a sweet and spicy flavor that my kids love. You can adjust the heat level by adding more or less of the sauce or adding additional red pepper flakes, if you like it really hot.
