Peanut Noodle Dinner

This is a favorite meal at our house. It’s easy to switch up the meat and vegetables with whatever you have available. Dan calls this version “Porky Peanut Surprise”. Serves 4.

8 ounces flat noodles (udon, lo mein, or linguine)
2 pork chops, cut into thin strips
1 cup carrots, chopped julienne style
1 cup zucchini, chopped julienne style
1 cup bean sprouts
½ cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 ½ tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
¼ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup chopped peanuts

1. Cook noodles until tender according to package directions. Drain.

2. Add a tablespoon of oil to a deep skillet and stir-fry the pork chops, carrots, zucchini and bean sprouts until meat is cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from skillet.

3. Using the same skillet, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, ginger, garlic and cayenne pepper. Cook over medium heat until peanut butter melts and is heated through. Add stir-fry and noodles and toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and peanuts. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
