Recipe by Suzanne Tracht For chef Suzanne Tracht's noodle dish here, we use marinated pork in place of Chinese sausage.

Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon fermented black beans
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sambal oelek
2/3 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
Pinch of sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound butternut squash, peeled and diced
1/2 pound fresh Chinese egg noodles
2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 dozen cockles
2 cups chopped bok choy greens

Instructions

In a bowl, marinate the pork with the beans, 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of the sambal for 30 minutes.
In a saucepan, simmer the chicken stock with the ginger, sugar, one-third of the garlic and the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of sambal over low heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, 15 minutes.
Boil the squash in a large saucepan of salted water until just tender, 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Boil the noodles in the water until al dente; drain and rinse.
In a wok, stir-fry the shallots and the remaining garlic in the oil, 2 minutes. Add the pork mixture and stir-fry until the meat is just white throughout. Add the cockles; pour in the ginger sauce and simmer until the cockles open, 2 minutes. Stir in the noodles, squash and bok choy and serve.
