Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add pork, scallion whites, garlic, ginger, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add the honey mixture, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue cooking until the pork is just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the noodles. Add the noodles to the pork.

Divide the pork and noodle mixture among 4 bowls and garnish with cilantro, if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
