From the Test Kitchen

For this quick-cooking, comforting dish, we’re combining a few of our favorite Asian ingredients like savory soy sauce, fragrant sesame oil, and rich hoisin sauce to toss with delightfully springy noodles, ground pork, and crisp vegetables. A garnish of sesame seeds adds welcome crunch and nuttiness.

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 fresh produce. Thinly slice the celery on an angle. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Combine the chopped bok choy and chopped garlic in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of water

Cook the vegetables:
2 Cook the vegetables:

In a large pan, heat the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Reserving the bowl, add the chopped bok choy and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Transfer to the reserved bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

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. Drain the noodles and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking. 

Cook the pork & serve your dish:
4 Cook the pork & serve your dish:

In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pork. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pork is coated and cooked through. Turn off the heat. Add the cooked vegetables and cooked noodles; stir until combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished pork and noodles garnished with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
