Preparation:

Step 1
• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat oven to 450°F (250°C). Place the rack on a foil-lined baking sheet; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the honey, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, and five-spice powder. Cut the pork in half crosswise and pierce with a fork; rub with 2 tablespoons of the honey-hoisin marinade, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and season with pepper. Place on the rack on the baking sheet.
Step 2
• Roast the pork until the surface is dry, about 10 minutes. Transfer another 3 tablespoons of marinade to a separate bowl and brush it all over the pork (reserve the remaining marinade for serving). Return the pork to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin registers 145°F (63°C), another 16-18 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Add the bok choy and cook until tender, 30-45 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain thoroughly, then add sesame oil and season with salt.
Step 4
• Slice the pork. Divide the noodles among bowls. Top with pork and bok choy. Drizzle with the remaining marinade and sprinkle with green onions.
