Ingredients

For the Pork & Marinade
  • 250g ground pork
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp ginger
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp spicy bean sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Soup Base
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp crispy chilli oil
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups unsweetened oat milk
For the Noodles & Garnish
  • 2 portions spinach & bok choy
  • 1 packet Noodies noodles
  • 2 spring onions, chopped

Directions

Combine the ground pork with the mirin and minced ginger. Set aside for 15 minutes to marinate. Meanwhile, in a bowl, make the tare for the soup base.
Mix together the soy sauce, tahini paste, rice vinegar, sugar, and crispy chili oil until smooth. Combine the chicken stock and oat milk in a pot, and bring to a simmer. Cover to keep warm. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the leafy greens and the noodles. Heat a wok over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and the pork. Brown the pork until the bits of ground meat are crispy. Add the spicy bean sauce and minced garlic, and cook for another minute. Turn off the heat and set aside.
To the pot of boiling water, add the green vegetables and blanch for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the water, drain, and set aside. Bring the water to a boil again, and add the noodles, cooking them according to package directions until they’re just cooked through and still chewy.
Add half of the sesame paste mixture to each bowl, followed by the hot simmering stock/milk mixture. Stir to combine. Divide the cooked noodles between the two bowls, and top with the cooked pork, blanched veggies, and chopped scallions. If you like yours extra spicy, you can add a bit more chili oil on top.
