Steps:

• Sweet Potato Pancakes:
• Mix all ingredients, except oil, in a large bowl until just combined. Form mixture into 4 equal size patties, like small pancakes. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties, in batches, to the hot oil and fry until firm and brown on both sides. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Portobello Mushrooms:
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add mushroom caps and saute for 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Pork Tenderloin:
• Cut pork into 4 slices, each about 1 1/2-inches thick. Season slices with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add pork pieces to the pan and sear for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Hollandaise Sauce:
• Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat until fully melted. Meanwhile, beat egg yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Slowly add the melted butter to the yolks until fully incorporated. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Spinach and Peppers:

• Place the sweet potato pancake in the center of the plate, place mushroom cap on top, and then the pork. Place the poached egg on top of the pork and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Lastly, arrange the baby spinach and roasted peppers along the outer edge of the plate.

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and pass through a spiralizer. You should get about 6 cups of "noodles." Cut the noodles with scissors to make 8- to 10-inch pieces.
• Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper-lined plate, add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the baby kale, red pepper flakes, garlic and some salt and pepper, then cook for 30 seconds just to soften.
• Add the sweet potato noodles and 3/4 cup water to the pan and gently toss to cook the noodles until they are just approaching al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Add an additional 1/4 cup water, if necessary, to "steam" the noodles.
• Beat the Parmesan and eggs together in a bowl. Roughly chop the bacon.
• Turn the heat off under the noodles and add the egg mixture. Toss to coat the noodles well. Top with more cheese and sprinkle with the bacon, lots of cracked black pepper and the chives or parsley.

Steps:

• For the charshu: Bring the soy sauce, mirin, ginger and garlic to a simmer in a large saucepan. Add the pork belly and let simmer, covered, for 2 hours. Refrigerate in its liquid until firm, about 1 hour, then slice into 2-centimeter pieces.
• For the sauce: Put the soy sauce, pork stock, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, green onions and 1 1/2 cups water into a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Let simmer over medium heat until the green onion stalks are tender. Strain the sauce into a bowl and add the sesame paste to the sauce. Stir well with a whisk. Put the sauce in the fridge and chill until serving.
• For the toppings: Combine the vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Marinate the bean sprouts in the solution until serving. Keep it in the fridge if preferred.
• Bring water to a boil in a medium pan. Trim off the ends of the asparagus, then cut them in half or about 3 inches long. Put them in the boiling water, then cook them until just crisp-tender, 2 1/2 minutes for thin spears and 3 to 4 minutes if thicker. Plunge them into ice water. Dry them off with paper towels and put them aside. Keep them in the fridge if preferred.
• Cut the cucumber in half, about 3 inches long, then cut them in half vertically. Slice them into sticks, trying to match the asparagus size.
• Grease a medium pan, preferably nonstick, and heat it over medium heat. Place the eggs in a small bowl and whisk until well mixed. Once the pan is heated, bring the heat down to medium-low. Pour about 1/4 cup egg mixture into the pan (like a crepe). Once the egg sheet is cooked (no need to brown it or anything, just golden is good), flip that on a cutting board. Grease the pan and repeat the process. Flip the second onto the first sheet on the cutting board. Repeat the process and make as many sheets with the egg mixture as you can. Cut the egg sheets in half, then layer them on top of each other and cut them into strips. Match them to the asparagus size.
• Bring water to a boil in a large pot (or medium pot if you're cooking 4 packs of noodles individually). Add the noodles to boiling water and stir well with tongs or chopsticks to prevent sticking. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 1/2 minutes or according to the instructions. Strain the noodles and plunge them into ice water or put the strainer under cold running water and rinse off the starchiness until the noodles aren't warm anymore. (You can use your hands to wash off the starchiness!) Shake the water off the noodles really well.

Add the pork and cook, turning, until golden, 5 minutes; transfer to the baking sheet with the vegetables (reserve the skillet). Roast until the sweet potatoes are tender and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 11 to 13 minutes.

Using kitchen tongs, turn mushrooms on their other side and cook for a few more minutes until golden. Transfer mushrooms to a plate and set aside. Wipe skillet of any excess oil with a wad of paper towels and set over medium heat once again.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. When it begins to smoke, add the pork chops in a single layer (you may have to do this in two batches).
