Spicy Peanut Butter Pork Pasta Recipes

CHINESE NOODLES WITH PORK & SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Set a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. Cook the noodles according to the package directions and drain. While you're waiting for the water to boil, start assembling the pork and sauce. Assemble the sauce: Use a fork to whisk together the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce together in a glass measuring cup. Set near the stovetop. Brown the pork: Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Brown the pork until no longer pink, breaking it up with the back of a spoon as you go. Add the red pepper flakes, half of the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir to combine. Heat until fragrant. Pour in the pre-whisked sauce and add the two tablespoons of peanut butter. Stir to combine. Heat until sauce bubbles and thickens and then reduce heat to low and keep warm while the pasta finishes cooking. Add the drained noodles to the sauté pan and toss together with a pair of tongs so that they are all coated with sauce. Garnish with remaining green onions and serve.
