Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add noodles to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return noodles to the same pot, off heat.
While noodles cook, peel, then mince or grate garlic. Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Combine hoisin and soy sauce in a small bowl.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then garlic and shallots. Cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, 1-2 min. Add pork. Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Add tomato sauce base. Cook, stirring constantly, until pork is coated, 30 sec-1 min. Season with salt and pepper. Add cooking wine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wine reduces slightly, 1-2 min.
Add carrots and bok choy to the pan with pork. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies soften slightly, 3-4 min.
Add sauce and reserved pasta water to the pan with veggies, then bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add noodles. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens slightly and coats noodles, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Divide pork noodles between plates. Sprinkle cilantro over top.
