Crispy bok choy can be added to a simple meal of pork and noodles for a quick, easy dinner with a bit of sriracha for that extra kick.
Jump to RecipeWe had some bok choy in one of our Bountiful Baskets a couple of years ago and really enjoyed the taste. It’s not too strong, but just enough. And I like the crunch that it adds to a dish. This time, I decided to make some pork and noodles with the bok choy in them.
A few weeks ago, we purchased some stir fry noodles for a client recipe and I liked them so much we bought more for ourselves. I also had some extra ground pork since we bought some for chili and I could only find it in a large container. Put that all together with some bok choy and we came up with this recipe for pork noodles with bok choy.
Most recipes I see only use the white part of the bok choy. I wanted the taste and texture of the wilted greens with the pork and noodles, so I used both pieces. They are added at different times, though, so you need to separate them before starting to cook.
If you like your recipes to have more of a kick then you can increase the amount of sriracha sauce. I don’t like a lot of spiciness, so I kept it low. Justin went and added a bit more to his serving because he likes that. Or you could increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
Pork Noodles with Bok Choy Step by Step
Ingredients
- 7 oz stir-fry rice noodles
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 head bok choy, chopped, greens and white separated
- 3 green onions, sliced, greens and white separated
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce
- 1 1/2 lbs ground pork
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
Preparation
Cook the rice noodles according to the directions.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over high heat and add the white pieces of bok choy, cooking for about 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
Add the bok choy greens and stir for 1-2 minutes, until they have wilted.
Remove the bok choy from the pan and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, green onion whites, ginger, sriracha, and pork, cooking until the pork is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and sugar. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch in water and add to the pan.
Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until the sauce starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Fold the cooked noodles and bok choy back into the pan, stirring until heated through.
Serve immediately garnished with the remaining greens of the green onions and crushed red pepper flakes.
Leftovers
Leftover pork and noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a medium skillet over medium heat until just warmed through. If the sauce is too thick, add 1/4 cup of water or broth to thin it out.

Pork and Noodles with Bok Choy FAQs
Rice noodles are exactly as they sound: noodles made from rice. They are vegan and gluten-free. You can find them on Amazon HERE or in the Asian food section at most grocery stores.
Since you are using all of the bok choy in this recipe, you’ll want to start by cutting off the bottom inch or so to remove the roots. Then I like to peel the pieces apart and rinse them. After that, cut the leafy green part off the crispy white part. Finally, cut into chunks since you want small pieces for this recipe.
