How to Make Asian Stir Fry Pork And Noodles
- Cook 8 oz of pasta (vermicelli or rice noodles) in boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Slice 1 lb pork tenderloin into thin strips. (Tip: Partially freeze for easier slicing!) Place in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (or more, to taste), 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
- Pour half of the hoisin sauce mixture over the pork strips. Toss to coat and marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated pork and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the wok. Add 5 oz baby spinach, 1/2 cup water chestnuts (sliced), 1/2 cup shredded carrots, and 2 green onions (sliced).
- Stir-fry until spinach is wilted and vegetables are tender-crisp (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the cooked noodles and the reserved pork to the wok.
- Pour in the remaining hoisin sauce mixture. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes, until heated through.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with extra green onions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
