- 2 Ontario Carrots, thinly sliced diagonally

Instructions
Cut pork into thin strips; season with salt and pepper. Cut leafy ends off bok choy and slice leaves thinly; cut stem ends in half lengthwise and slice (keep separate from leaves). Set aside.
Bring large pot of water to boil; cook soba noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain well, briefly rinse and divide among wide soup bowls.
Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat. Stir-fry pork until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer to plate.
Add remaining oil to skillet; stir-fry onion, garlic, ginger, carrots and red pepper for 3 minutes. Add stem ends of bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir together broth, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce; stir into skillet along with pork and bok choy leaves. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp and bright in colour, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Garnish: Sprinkle with green onions and coriander; divide mixture among bowls.
