Bok choy and red bell pepper add extra color to this tasty dish, and the sauce flavors the egg noodles wonderfully.

Serves 2 to 4

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1/2 pound fresh Chinese or Italian egg noodles
  • 1/2 pound lean pork cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2-1/2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil, divided
  • 18 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine or dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 2 thin slices ginger, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped bok choy
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cubed
  • 1 cup mung bean sprouts
  • Additional water if needed
  1. In a large pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the noodles and cook until they are firm but tender. Drain the noodles.
  2. Place pork in a medium bowl and add light soy sauce, 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil and pepper. Marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator. Combine chicken broth with oyster sauce, rice wine or sherry, and the sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat a wok or medium skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nearly smoking. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot, add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add pork. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until pork is no longer pink and is nearly cooked.
  4. Push the pork to the sides of the wok or skillet and add bok choy in the middle. Stir-fry bok choy for 1 minute sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon salt over the top. Add red bell pepper and mung bean sprouts. Stir-fry for another minute or until bok choy turns bright green. Splash vegetables with water if they begin to dry out during stir-frying.
  5. Add noodles. Stir-fry briefly, then add sauce. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes to heat everything through. Serve hot.

I live with my daughter and we have 3 cats. My daughter is a pet store manager. I have close ties to my family, and my daughter and I get along better than the Gilmore girls do. We're both girly girls. We like to dress in dresses and stuff like that.

The old-aged jokes are self-deprecating to me. I like to laugh at what it seems to be my current state of mind.

The redneck jokes remind me of when I used to be a farmer.

I don't drink alcohol or huge amounts of coffee; like the jokes that I have here. I just find they make some of the funniest humour. I am actually the environmentalist type. I do a lot of walking. whether it's walking around town or on nature trails.

The affirmations are goals that I would like to adhere to.

I see myself as the Donna Reed' type. Remember, the wifey from the Christmas movie, "It's a Wonderful Life". My life revolves around cooking and housework. I'm looking for someone to watch tv and movies with. There is life after 50. I just need to get out more.

I am also somewhat like a female counterpart of "Bubbles" on the Canadian tv show "Trailer Park Boys". Like. Bubbles people tend to come to me for advice.

I turned 51 last year.. Due to poor genetics I have become diabetic. I have been writing a nutritional cookbook over the past several years. Fortunately most of my recipes are already good for diabetics. My blood sugar is stable with oral medication and adhering to a diabetic diet.

I'm having to adjust to spending more time in the kitchen cooking and doing dishes.. As well as having to save leftovers for meals rather than for snacks. Giving up chocolate and ice cream is the hardest. Though I've lost over 20 pounds.

I have had chronic bronchitis for over 2 decades. I couldn't quit smoking until I was too sick to smoke any more. I was bordering on having emphysema. It's been over a year and a half since I've had a cigarette. I don't know if I will overcome from the smoking. It's difficult for me to go for walks, do housework and climb stairs. And it takes me twice as long to do those things.

My food blog is intended to lead by example. To show what foods are healthy and how to plan healthy meals.

My food blog is called "Nutritious Recipes 101" and is right here, https://nutritiousrecipes101.wordpress.com/
