Begin by preparing your ingredients. Mince the garlic and ginger, julienne the carrots, chop the bok choy, and slice the green onions.
In a large pot over medium heat, add the toasted sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, sautΓ©ing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the plant-based pork to the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes, ensuring it browns slightly and absorbs the garlic and ginger flavors.
Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the julienned carrots and chopped bok choy to the pot. Allow the vegetables to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender.
While the soup is simmering, cook the Chinese egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Once the vegetables are cooked, stir in the green onions, then add salt and black pepper to taste.
Finally, add the cooked noodles into the soup, stirring to combine.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, garnishing with extra green onions if desired.
