In a pot, heat up the chicken stock and stir in the chili bean sauce, sesame paste, soy sauce, and sugar. Taste and season accordingly. If you feel you need more of one ingredient or another, feel free to adjust. Keep the soup on a low simmer while you cook the meat.
In a small wok or frying pan, heat up the teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium high heat and add the minced garlic, shallots, and sliced chili. Fry until fragrant, but not browned. Add the ground pork and cook, crumbling until the pork is brown and crispy. Add the soy sauce, and sesame oil. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
Turn the heat up on the soup and when boiling, cook the zoodles briefly until just softened, 1-2 minutes. If using noodles, cook noodles according to the package and drain.
Place the zoodles/noodles in a bowl and top with soup and ground pork. Garnish with green onions and enjoy immediately!
