Steps

  1. Brown the pork hard in the oil, then season with soy sauce and five-spice and cook until crisp.

  2. Whisk the sauce ingredients in a bowl, loosening with hot noodle water until pourable.

  3. Boil the noodles, adding the bok choy in the last minute; drain.

  4. Divide the sauce among bowls, pile in noodles and greens, top with pork and scallions, and stir before eating.

The sauce sits on the bottom by design — toss it yourself at the table.

Food safety Cook ground pork to 71°C / 160°F.
