Instructions
- Preheat broiler to 500°. In a large bowl, combine noodles with 4 cups boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes; drain and rinse.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, cream, garlic, ginger, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper, and whisk to combine. Stir in crabmeat and noodles. In a 10-inch nonstick oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain pork, and add to noodle mixture, stirring gently to combine.

Add noodle mixture to pan. Using a spatula, push egg mixture toward center of skillet, tilting the skillet to allow liquid to run to the edge of the pan. Repeat procedure until eggs are mostly set, about 5 minutes.
