Yield: 2

Author: Yasmine Wahab

Ingredients

For Ground Beef

• 1 tsp cooking oil
• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 2 tsp hoisin sauce
• 2 tsp mirin
• 1 tsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp five spice powder

For the Sauce

• 2 tbsp tahini
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp five spice powder
• 1/3 cup chili oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp grated fresh ginger

• 9 oz package of Asian noodles (low mein noodles)
• 3 baby bok choy, trimmed and sliced lengthwise
• chopped peanuts & sesame seed for garnish

Instructions

1. Set a large pot of water to boil on the stove.
2. Put the oil in a skillet and heat on medium high. Brown the beef, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks. When it has cooked through, add the Hoisin, Mirin, soy and spice powder and continue to cook until the liquid has evaporated and the meat is nice and crispy. Remove the meat to a plate.
3. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, this is usually just a few minutes. At the last minute, add the greens to the boiling water. Reserve about a cup of the cooking water, then drain.
4. Add 1/3 cup of the cooking water to the pork skillet, and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom, off the heat.
5. Whisk the sauce ingredients to combine. Note: you're not cooking the sauce, just mixing it. Taste to adjust any of the ingredients to your liking. Add a little more noodle water if you like it thinner. Divide the sauce equally between 4 bowls.
6. Top the sauce with the noodles and wilted veggies. Then spoon the crispy pork over top.
7. Garnish with chopped peanuts. Toss the noodles with the sauce before eating.
