Instructions
-
Prepare the Lo Mein: Begin by cooking the lo mein noodles according to package instructions; once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water. When cool, toss the noodles with 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and set them aside.
-
Pound and Sauté the Pork: Take your boneless pork chops and pound them to a thickness of 1/4 inch. In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon each of sesame and peanut oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork and season with salt and pepper, cooking until browned on both sides. If needed, keep the pork warm in a low oven while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
-
Cook the Bok Choy: In the same pan, add the baby bok choy and cook for about 1 minute on each side until it turns golden brown. This step adds a delightful texture and flavor to the dish.
-
Add Aromatics: Next, incorporate minced garlic and ginger into the pan, stirring constantly for approximately 2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Make the Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce, vinegar, dark brown sugar, water, and red pepper flakes. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, partially covered, over medium heat for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Combine and Serve: Once the sauce is ready, toss the cooked lo mein with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve the lo mein topped with the flavorful pork and bok choy, creating a vibrant and delicious dish that is sure to impress.
