Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

*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
