Instructions

step 1

Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Remove the noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; thinly slice on an angle. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop, separating the stems and leaves. Halve the lime(s) crosswise. In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter spread, black bean-chile sauce, 2 tablespoons of water (or 4 tablespoons for 4 servings), and as much of the lime juice as you'd like.

step 2

Brown the pork

In a large, high-sided pan (or pot for 4 servings), 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, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil.

step 3

Add the vegetables

Add the sliced carrots and sautéed aromatics (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through and the carrots are slightly softened. Add the chopped bok choy stems; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened.

step 4

Finish the noodles & serve your dish

Using your hands, carefully separate the noodles. To the pan, add the noodles, chopped bok choy leaves, and sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the noodles are heated through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles garnished with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
