Preheat the oven to 200°C. Put the pieces of pork into an ovenproof dish, then add the garlic, black pepper, sugar, rice wine, 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Mix everything together well and roast for until the pork is just cooked through and tender.
Meanwhile, to make the dipping sauce, put the lemongrass and ginger into a mini food processor and add the coriander leaves and stalks, chilli powder, sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and 4 tablespoons water. Blend into a smooth sauce and pour into a serving bowl. Cover and leave to one side so that all the amazing savoury flavours come together.
Cook the beans and noodles in boiling water for until the noodles are soft, or as directed on the packet. Drain and return to the saucepan. Pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, then add the lime juice. Mix well, cover and leave to one side until the pork is ready. Slice the pork and serve with the noodles and the dipping sauce alongside.
