Shan Noodles

Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add canola oil and let it come to a quick simmer. Add the ground pork, and using a wooden spoon, continue to break up the pork (or ground chicken), and cook until browned.

Add diced onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring. Add paprika, soy sauce, fish sauce, and turmeric, and stir. Cook for about 1 minute, then add grated tomato. Stir, and cook for another minute or two. Add water, stir, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat chicken stock on the stove on medium heat. Add bok choy and let it cook until tender.

Boil water, enough to cover the amount of your rice noodles, and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes.

Now you are ready to serve. Add cooked rice noodles to soup bowls. Generously ladle the pork mixture onto the noodles, then add broth to cover the noodles. Add bok choy, chopped peanuts, fried garlic, and fresh cilantro. Shower with the green onions. Taste, and season with salt.
