  For my latest noodle creation, I marinated ground lamb
  with soy sauce, rice wine, garlic and sesame oil, then
  seared it in the pan so it stayed in big chunks. Add
  garlic, ginger and bok choy and stir-fry it until the
  vegetables are tender and the meat is cooked through. You
  then remove it from the pan so you can sear the pre-cooked
  noodles, then stir in the vegetables and meat with some
  sauce. It comes together in a sticky, savory pile of
  noodles with a slight char from the wok. Don't forget the
  chile-garlic sauce.

  Boil the noodles according to package directions. Drain
  and rinse.

  Meanwhile, combine the mirin, sesame oil and soy sauce in
  a measuring cup.

  Place the lamb in a medium bowl and add half the garlic
  and half the sauce. Stir together.

  Add the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water to the remaining
  sauce.

  Separate the large leaves from the bok choy. Trim the stem
  and cut through the core holding the smaller leaves. Soak
  in a large bowl of water to remove any sand, then drain
  before cooking.

  Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons
  vegetable oil, then add the meat. Break up into 1-inch
  chunks and brown for 2 minutes.

  Add the ginger, green onion and remaining garlic, stir for
  a few seconds, then add bok choy. Stir fry until the bok
  choy is just cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Pour contents of
  the pan into a large bowl.

  Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 3 teaspoons oil to
  the pan. When it's very hot, swirl it around the pan and
  add the noodles. Cook until lightly seared and heated
  through, 3 minutes. Return the meat and vegetables to the
  pan with the sauce. Bring to a simmer until the sauce
  thickens slightly and coats the noodles.

  Serve immediately with the chile-garlic sauce.

  * Note: Large bok choy works fine too; slice the stalks
  and leaves 1-inch thick and separate them. Add the stalks
  in the recipe where it calls for the bok choy and cook 3
  minutes, then add the leaves and wilt them for 1 minute.

  Serves 3-4
