Ingredients

  • 2 packages Top Ramen Noodles
  • 2 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup finely julienned carrots
  • 1 cup frozen sugar snap peas
  • ¼ cup natural peanut butter chunky, if possible
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • ½ cup hot water
  • 1 14 oz. can fancy mixed Chinese vegetables
  • ½ cup chopped green onions

Garnish

  • Chopped green onions
  • Chopped roasted peanuts

Instructions

  • Cook noodles in water for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a wok or large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger and hot pepper, and stir fry for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • 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.
  • Add the remaining tbsp oil to the pan, then add carrots and snow peas. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp. Transfer to the same bowl as the pork.
  • Add peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and water to the pan, and cook for a 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).
  • Add Chinese vegetables, cooked noodles, and cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
  • 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 green onions and roasted peanuts.
