    Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

    Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the bok choy; cut off and discard the root ends, then roughly chop. Roughly chop the kimchi. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, vinegar, 1/4 cup of warm water, and as much of the gochujang as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Whisk to combine.

    Cook the pork & vegetables
    2 Cook the pork & vegetables

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pork. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Using a spoon, move the pork to one side of the pan. Add the chopped kimchi and chopped bok choy to the other side of the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened and the pork is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    Cook the noodles
    3 Cook the noodles

    Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking.

Serve the finished noodles garnished with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
