Steps

1

Briefly dip the pork in boiling water until the color changes, then remove immediately and drain well.
2

In a small bowl, mix the sugar, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. While the pork is still warm, add it to the sauce and let it marinate.
3

Microwave the frozen udon noodles according to the package instructions, then rinse in ice water to cool.
4

Rinse the bok choy, then microwave using the vegetable setting or, if unavailable, microwave at 500W for 4–5 minutes until cooked.
5

Squeeze out excess water from the bok choy and cut into bite-sized pieces.
6

Place the cooled udon noodles on a plate, top with the marinated pork and sauce, then add the bok choy and drizzle with mayonnaise.
7

If desired, sprinkle with shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice) or sesame seeds to finish.
