- 1 lb center pork
- 2 C water
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 lb baby Boy Choy
- 2 carrots
- 1 yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 Tbsp dark soy sauce

Instructions
- Wash your produce. Slice your onions, Bok Choy, carrots, pepper - set aside. Mince garlic. Set aside also.
- Dice the pork and add to a large gallon ziplock with half of the dark soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
- Using the sauté setting on the Instant Pot, add 1 Tbsp oil of your choice. Add the pork to the pot and sauté until golden brown. Remove the meat, set aside.
- Add minced garlic to the Instant Pot; brown for 30 seconds. Add water to the instant pot and de-glaze by scraping clean with a spatula.
- Break the spaghetti in half. Put down in a crisscross pattern (helps prevent sticking). Do not stir or move the noodles once down. Gently push the pasta down so it is under the liquid
- Close the Instant Pot; cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Immediately release the pressure and allow to rest for 4 minutes.
- Open the pot; stir the noodles around. Gently add the soy sauce (dark and light), hoisin sauce, and mirin to the noodles and stir until combined.
- Turn on the sauté setting. Add the sliced Bok choy, red bell pepper, onions, carrots, and pork to the pot and stir frequently for about 5-8 minutes. (Depending on how crispy you like your vegetables.)
- Garnish - salt, pepper, and sesame seeds (to taste). Serve hot.
