Heat a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork, garlic, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and cumin seed. Cook, breaking up the pork as you go until the pork is well browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the stock, bring to a simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Add in the baby bok choy and green onions. Leave a little of the green tops for garnish. Add the soy and fish sauce. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
Place zoodles in your serving bowl and top with the pork and broth. Top with green onion tops and sriachia if desired.
Prepare your zoodles while the stock is simmering. Use a hand held or counter top device for the zoodles.
*I use a microplane grater to grate the cheese right over the hot green beans. Check out the tip here for the easy minced garlic. The same technique applies to a block of cheese.
**I use an old-fashioned mortar and pestle to grind the spices up
