Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sambal oelek (chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 4 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup peanuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sambal oelek, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, light brown sugar, lime juice, and chicken broth until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the ground pork, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is browned and fully cooked.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared peanut sauce into the skillet with the pork. Stir to coat the pork evenly with the sauce.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are thoroughly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Turn off the heat and mix in half of the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Divide the Spicy Peanut Pork with Rice Noodles among serving bowls. Garnish with the remaining green onions, chopped cilantro, and chopped peanuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Peanut Pork with Rice Noodles!
