Here's something I put together that came out surprisingly well for a first go. I bought a couple of pork loin chops, sliced them into strips, and marinated them for about four hours in a mixture of about a quarter cup of rice vinegar, a few tablespoons of toasted sesame oil, a few tablespoons of soy sauce, and a tablespoon each of brown sugar and roasted red Thai chili paste. Then I took a couple of stalks of celery and a large onion and chopped them. Next I cut two heads of bok choy into small pieces. I got a tablespoon or two of toasted sesame oil hot in the wok and slightly browned the pork, then set it aside. I added the onions and celery and sauteed them for a minute or two. Next I added the bok choy and continued sauteing until it shrunk down. Then I added the marinade plus a sauce made of about a half-cup of vegetable stock, a little fish sauce, and another tablespoon of the chili paste. I then brought the sauce to a boil (this is important since the marinade had the raw pork in it), then lowered the heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally in order to ensure even cooking. After a few minutes I returned the pork to the wok and continued cooking until the bok choy was tender.
