📝 Ingredients

• 8 ounces thin wheat somen noodles
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or as needed)
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 medium sweet Vidalia or yellow onion (diced small)
• 1 baby bok choy (trimmed and sliced in 1 1/2-inch wide sections)
• 1 pound ground pork sausage (I used regular, spicy may be substituted)
• 1 large bell pepper (sliced into thin strips (I used yellow but another color may be substituted))
• 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots (use store bought in a bag to save time)
• 1 medium broccoli crown (trimmed into bite-sized florets)
• 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce (or as desired)
• 1 to 4 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (or as desired (start with 1/2 tablespoon if you're sensitive to heat))
• 1 to 3 teaspoons ground ginger (or as desired (start with 1 teaspoon if you're sensitive to heat))
• salt and pepper (optional and to taste (likely not necessary))
• sesame seeds (optional for garnishing)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1To a medium pot, bring water to a boil over high heat, cook the noodles according to package directions (likely 90 to 120 seconds), drain, rinse; set aside. While you're waiting for the water to boil and the noodles to cook, move on to the next steps.
2. 2To a large, high-sided skillet, add the oils, onion, bok choy, and saute over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are beginning to soften; stir frequently.
3. 3Add the pork, bell pepper, carrots, and cook over medium high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until pork is cooked through and all vegetables are tender. Crumble pork as it cooks and stir frequently to ensure even cooking. At any point in cooking add additional olive oil if necessary.
4. 4Add the broccoli and stir to combine.
5. 5Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, ginger, and stir to combine. Turn the heat to low and allow the food to simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until broccoli is as crisp tender as desired. Stir thoroughly to ensure food is coated evenly with sauces.
6. 6Taste the dish and if desired add salt or pepper (I did not need either), extra soy sauce, or chili garlic sauce for additional spiciness.
7. 7Optionally garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
