Rinse the zucchini and divide into slices. Peel and finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves. Use a spoon to peel the ginger root and chop into small pieces. Divide the broccoli into florets.

Pit the dates if needed and finely chop the chili pepper. Remove any excess fat from the pork chops and divide into cubes or strips.

Meanwhile prepare the noodles, it depends on the type of noodles but some need to be soaked and others have to be cooked in boiling water.
