    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

    Remove the noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the chives. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores. Halve lengthwise, then medium dice. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling the pepper. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, sesame oil, vinegar, 1/2 cup of water, and as much of the gochujang as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pork; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.

    To the pan of reserved fond, add the diced peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened.
