Method

  1. Slice the pork into long thin strips. Put the stock, soy sauce, sherry, 5-spice powder (or paste), ginger, garlic and spring onions into a small saucepan with a lid and bring to a gentle simmer. After about 2 minutes, when the stock ingredients have got to know each other, stir in the pork, cover and let it simmer away, but not boil. It will take about 5 minutes for the pork to change colour and become firm, then you know it is cooked.
  2. Put the noodles in a bowl with boiling water and soak for 4 minutes. Cut the bok choi or leaves, widthways, into 2.5cm/1in slices. Drain the noodles and toss with oil and sesame seeds.
  3. When the pork is ready, stir in the bok choi, simmer for 1 minute. To serve, pile the noodles into a bowl, spoon pork and other bits on top, pour the broth around and scatter coriander leaves over. And don't forget to keep paper napkins handy for those noodle slurps.

    my housemate and boyfriend both loved this dish, and it was very easy, certainly didn't take 45 minutes, more like 25. definitely needs to be served in bowls - I foolishly used plates and we made a huge mess!

    not bad. the pork is nice and tender and the ingredients that go into the stock make it nice and flavoursome. a liitle on the bland side.
