How to make it
- Season the pork tenderloin, if desired, with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a 6-qt pot over high heat and cook the tenderloin strips, in batches if necessary, stirring occasionally, until almost done, about 3 minutes; remove and set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil in the same pot over medium-low heat and cook the ginger and garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. I also like to add some sesame oil for flavor, add about a tsp or more.
- Add the Chicken Broth and soya sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy stems (or shredded cabbage if using instead), and carrots and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook uncovered, for 4 minutes. Add the noodles, being careful not to break them apart. Cook until the noodles and vegetables are tender, about 4-6 minutes.
- Stir in the tenderloin strips, zucchini and bok choy leaves and cook 1 minute more or until the leaves are wilted and tenderloin is cook through. Serve, if desired, with any of the optional toppings.
