1
Marinate the Pork:
In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine, five-spice powder, minced garlic, and food coloring if using. Coat the pork with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Cook the Pork:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pork on a rack over a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, basting with the marinade halfway through, until cooked through. Let the pork rest, then slice it into thin strips.
3
Stir-Fry Vegetables:
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and green onions, and stir-fry for another minute.
4
Combine and Season:
Add the cooked noodles and sliced char siu pork to the wok. Stir in oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
