SPICY PEANUT PORK NOODLES (GLUTEN FREE)



Spicy Peanut Pork Noodles (Gluten free) image

These spicy peanut pork noodles feature crispy pork, a creamy peanut sauce and fresh spinach for an addicting one-dish dinner that you'll want to make on repeat. The brand of rice noodles you use makes a big difference in terms of texture, so pay attention to the quantities. If you use Lotus Foods Pad Thai Rice Noodles (which I love for their toothsome bite), you'll need two packages, or 1 pound. If you use Annie Chun's or Thai Kitchen brand, use 1 box, or 8 ounces (you can use white or brown rice noodles for any brand). If you prefer, you can swap out the pork for ground turkey. Take note that the peanut sauce will taste very potent on its own, but it will get diluted with chicken broth when it goes into the pan. The sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance.

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon Sambal Oelek or sriracha, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces (2 packages) Lotus Foods Pad Thai Rice Noodles, or 8 ounces (1 box) Annie Chun's or Thai Kitchen Pad Thai Rice Noodles
1 tablespoon neutral vegetable oil
1 pound 16 ounces ground pork
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, chopped (optional)
5 ounces baby spinach
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
2 large scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for serving
Chopped peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil (this will be for the noodles in a bit). While the water comes to a boil, make the peanut sauce.
  • In a mini food processor, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth (the sauce will taste quite strong at this point, but it will mellow considerably when tossed with the broth and noodles). Do Ahead: The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Cook the noodles in the boiling water according to the package directions. Drain and rinse in cold water.
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch pan over high heat until it's shimmering. Add the pork, and season with salt and pepper. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon, then let it cook without stirring until it's brown and crispy on the bottom in several places, about 3-5 minutes. Scooch the meat to one side of the pan (it's okay if it's not fully cooked at this point), tilt the pan, and spoon off the fat (discard the fat).
  • Add the garlic (if using), and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the spinach and cook, tossing with tongs, until wilted.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the chicken broth and peanut sauce. Add the cooked noodles. Cook, stirring (tongs are helpful here), until the sauce is bubbling and has evenly coated the noodles (it will only take a minute or two). If the pan looks dry, add more broth as needed (this will depend on the brand of rice noodles you use). Stir in the scallions, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Swirl the pork noodles into serving bowls and garnish with more scallions and chopped peanuts. Serve with Sambal Oelek or sriracha for drizzling.

PORK SATAY WITH THAI SPICES AND PEANUT SAUCE



Pork Satay With Thai Spices and Peanut Sauce image

Throughout Southeast Asia, little skewers of marinated meat, grilled over coals, are sold as street snacks. Sweetly fragrant with coconut milk and spices, they are perfect for barbecue parties served with steamed rice, or on their own with drinks, whether grilled indoors or out. You may use pork loin or tenderloin, but marbled sirloin or shoulder is more succulent.

Toss with your hands to coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Meanwhile, soak 12 bamboo skewers in water.

  • Prepare the peanut sauce: Pulse the peanuts briefly in a food processor just until finely ground. Add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, cayenne and coconut milk, and process until well puréed. Transfer to a bowl, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin a bit with lime juice or water as desired.
  • Thread 2 slices of pork onto each bamboo skewer, keeping the meat as flat as possible. Grill over hot coals, under the broiler or on a stovetop grill pan for 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a platter and garnish with cilantro and basil leaves. Serve with cucumber relish and peanut sauce.
