I made a large batch of slow cooker pork tenderloin a few days ago and wanted to make a quick but exciting dish instead of boring leftovers. When it comes to kids, exciting means there must be some sort of noodle involved hence, a lo mein dish to the rescue.
You can use soba noodles, rice noodles or simply whole grain spaghetti and when it comes to liquids, use a peanut sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, chili sauce or in this case, a gyoza sauce. Oh, and use any protein you want including egg, chicken, tempeh etc.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. whole grain spaghetti or soba noodles
1 tablespoons olive or grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (or add additional olive oil)
1 cup snap peas, trimmed
1 cup chopped red pepper
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups boneless pork tenderloin (loin or chops), cut in ~1-inch pieces
1/2 cup gyoza (or your favorite sauce)
2 scallions, sliced for garnish
Directions:
1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add sugar snap peas and red pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add pork and sauce, cook for about 2 minutes, tossing frequently.
3. Set pan aside, drain spaghetti, toss into pork mixture and serve with scallion garnish
