Preparation
Cook the pork
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Sauté the garlic, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the pork*; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through.
Boil the noodles & gai lan
Meanwhile, remove the bottom inch of the gai lan stems; roughly chop the leaves and stems. Add the noodles to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 4 to 5 min., until al dente. In the final 2 to 3 min., add the gai lan. Reserving ½ cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the pad see ew
To the pan of pork, add the noodles and gai lan, the spinach, soy sauce, ponzu, sesame oil, ½ the reserved cooking water, the remaining spices and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until the spinach has wilted and the noodles are coated. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
