Pork:

- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the pork and saute until pork is dark brown with some crispiness, 10-15 minutes.
Noodles:
- Meanwhile, make the noodle sauce by combining all ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Prepare the noodles according to package instructions and set aside. Save some of the noodle water just in case!
- Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil and blanch the bok choy until bright vivid greed and slightly wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the water and set aside.
Assemble the Dish
- Divide the cooked noodles among smaller bowls, then pour the noodle sauce on top. Mix to evenly coat the noodles with sauce, adding noodle water if necessary to thin it out.
- Next, top the noodles with the cooked pork, baby bok choy, Sichuan chili flakes, and chili oil.
- Garnish with crushed peanuts and sliced green onions and enjoy!
