Instructions
Cook the Lo Mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Cut the pork tenderloin into thin strips. In a medium bowl, toss the pork with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and water in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots, bell pepper, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet, then add the cooked noodles. Pour the peanut sauce over the mixture and toss until evenly coated and heated through.
Adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted peanuts, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Lo Mein Pork and Peanut Noodles!
