Preparation
Boil the noodles & cook the pork
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles; stir gently to separate. Boil, 1 to 3 min., until al dente. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork*; season with S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the carrots crosswise. Remove the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop. Halve, core and thinly slice the sweet pepper lengthwise. Peel and mince the ginger. Mince the garlic.
Make the spiced peanuts
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add ½ the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Reduce the heat to low and add the peanuts. Toast, stirring frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until coated; season with ½ the spices. Toast, stirring frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Sauté the vegetables
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the ginger and remaining garlic. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the carrots and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften. Add the sweet pepper and bok choy. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until tender; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
Combine the noodles
To the pan of vegetables, add the pork, soy sauce, ponzu and noodles. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 3 min., until the noodles are coated and combined; season with S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the noodles between your bowls. Garnish with the spiced peanuts. Bon appétit!
