Method

Mix tahini, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and water into a smooth sauce. Finely chop chilli, garlic and ginger.
Heat neutral oil in a wok and fry pork for 6–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked, breaking up the mince.
Add chilli, garlic, ginger and Sichuan pepper to the pork and cook for 1 minute. Cook noodles according to their packet, adding bok choy for the last 2 minutes.
Drain noodles and greens, divide into bowls with the sesame sauce, and top with pork and sliced spring onion. Toss before eating.

A pantry-friendly version using tahini instead of roasted Chinese sesame paste; no preserved mustard greens are included.
