Spicy Peanut Butter Noodles by Dee Siburt serves: 6	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

Recipe calls for pork, but can also use chicken breast.

Ingredients:

1 lb

Chinese stir fry or lo mein noodles

2 Tbsp

Canola oil

2 cloves

Garlic, minced

3 Tbsp

fresh ginger

2 tsp

Red pepper flakes

1 lb

Pork tenderloin, cut in to thin strips

1 C

Red pepper finely sliced

1 C

Carrots, julienned

1/4 C

Peanut butter

2 Tbsp

Soy sauce

2 Tbsp

Sesame oil

1 Tbsp

Fish sauce

1 Tbsp

Rice wine vinegar

1/2 C

Hot water

1/2 C

Green onion, chopped

Chopped fresh cilantro

Chopped roasted peanuts

Directions:

1.Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
2.In a wok or large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger and hot pepper, and stir fry for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
3.Add pork strips. Continue stir frying for 4 minutes, until the pork is browned on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a small bowl.
4.Add the remaining tbsp oil to the pan, then add red pepper, carrots and snow peas. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp. Transfer to the same bowl as the pork.
5.Add cooked noodles to the pan, and saute for 1-2 minutes just to warm through. Stir in peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar and water, and cook for another minute or two until the peanut butter melts into a smooth sauce (if the sauce looks too thick or sticky, add a tablespoon or two of water at a time until it loosens up to the desired consistency).
6.Remove from heat. Stir in the reserved pork and vegetables along with chopped green onions, and toss until evenly coated with sauce. Serve hot with a sprinkling of cilantro, green onions and roasted peanuts.
