  4. Cut the bok choi or leaves, widthways, into 2.5cm/1in slices.
  5. Drain the noodles and toss with oil and sesame seeds.
  6. When the pork is ready, stir in the bok choi, simmer for 1 minute. To serve, pile the noodles into a bowl, spoon pork and other bits on top, pour the broth around and scatter coriander leaves over. And dont forget to keep paper napkins handy for those noodle slurps.
