Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 8 oz. pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
  2. 2 cups bok choy, chopped
  3. 8 oz. rice noodles
  4. 2 tbsp soy sauce
  5. 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  6. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  7. 1 tbsp sesame oil
  8. 1 green onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Thinly slice the pork tenderloin and set it aside. Chop the bok choy into bite-sized pieces, and slice the green onion. Mince the ginger and garlic, and have the soy sauce and sesame oil ready.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes, until tender. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  3. While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and allow it to heat for about 30 seconds.
  4. Once the oil is hot, add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
  5. Add the sliced pork tenderloin to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Make sure to stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
  6. Once the pork is cooked, add the chopped bok choy to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the bok choy is wilted and tender but still vibrant green.
  7. Next, pour the soy sauce over the pork and bok choy mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and allow the flavors to meld for about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Finally, add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the noodles are well coated with the sauce and mixed with the pork and bok choy. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
  9. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with the sliced green onion. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Ginger Pork Noodles with Bok Choy!

Tips

  1. Slice the pork tenderloin when it's slightly frozen for more precise, thin cuts.
  2. Don't overcook the bok choy - you want it to remain vibrant green and retain a slight crunch.
  3. Use high heat when stir-frying to achieve that authentic wok-style sear on the pork.
  4. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  5. For extra flavor, toast the sesame oil briefly before adding ginger and garlic.
  6. Make sure to rinse rice noodles in cold water to prevent them from becoming sticky.
  7. If you can't find bok choy, baby spinach or Swiss chard make great substitutes.
  8. Prep all ingredients before you start cooking - this dish comes together quickly!
