RICE NOODLES WITH PORK AND GINGER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cook the noodles as the label directs, then drain and rinse under cold water. Meanwhile, season the pork generously with salt and pepper; set aside. Whisk the chicken broth and cornstarch in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then add the pork and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the pan, then add the scallion whites, ginger and garlic; reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
• Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start softening, about 2 minutes. Add the broth mixture and 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
• Return the pork to the skillet along with the noodles and stir to warm through. Remove from the heat and stir in the scallion greens, herbs and lime juice.

• Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the carrots and onions and saute until they begin to caramelize. Next, add the ginger, garlic and habanero. Saute until the vegetables become aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the mushrooms and cabbage. Stir in the tamari sauce, chicken stock and pork. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer about 20 minutes.
• To serve, divide the prepared noodles between 4 entree-size bowls. Ladle the soup into the bowls and garnish each with cilantro leaves, bean sprouts and lime wedges. Drizzle with additional tamari sauce, if desired.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using a pastry brush, spread the mixture all over the pork shoulder.

Continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the shoulder reads 185 degrees F, about 4 hours. Remove the pork from the oven and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.

• To serve, ladle soup over noodles and top with remaining onion, cilantro and toasted garlic.

DELICIOUS PORK AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Sprinkle all sides of your pork loin liberally with salt and pepper.
• Spray inside of crockpot with spray cooking oil (I do this because it makes cleaning the crock so much easier).
• Place pork in crockpot along with about 1/4 cup of water and cook on low all day or high for about 3-4 hours (cooking time varies according to your crockpot and the size of your pork loin -- if it is large and I need it to be done faster, I will cut the loin into smaller chunks). You will know when it is done, when you can shred it with a fork.
• About 15-20 minutes before I want to serve, in a pot on the stove, I bring the cans of broth to just the point of boiling and then I add the bag of noodles and cook basically according to the directions on the package. Hopefully, most of the liquid will be absorded, if any is left, you might want to drain it off. For this dish, the noodles should NOT be soupy.
• While the noodles are cooking, remove your pork loin from the crockpot and gently shred the pork. We like it not to be stringy and not to have chunks that are too big. Just nice bite sized pieces.
• When the noodles are done, add the pork to the pot of noodles and stir so pork is distributed throughout. If pork wasn't warm when you added it, let the noodles/pork reheat. Taste - if bland, you'll need to add more salt and pepper.
• Serve with warm bread and a salad. Nice comfort food.
• NOTE - my mom cooks the pork on the stove in a pot. After salt/peppering the pork, I think she browns all sides of the loin and then turns down to low and cooks for 2-3 hours - with a little water or broth in the bottom of the pan. Then she removes the pork to be shredded and in the same pot cooks her noodles and then adds pork back.
• TIP - if you aren't worried about watching fat, add the juice/drippings that are in the bottom of the crockpot to the cans of broth - the drippings add an extra depth to the flavor of the dish!
• NOTE - if your pork loin is on the small side (closer to 1 pound), you will want to use less noodles and less broth. You should be able to get pork with every bite of noodles.

PORK AND NOODLES

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, ginger and garlic; add pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain., In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry pork in 2 teaspoons oil for 3 minutes. Remove and keep warm. sTir-fry the cabbage, onions and carrots in remaining oil for 2-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add the wine or broth, sugar, red pepper flakes and remaining soy sauce. Cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add spaghetti and pork; toss to coat.

LONG RICE NOODLE SOUP PORK OR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Before you start cooking, take the dried shitake mushrooms and long rice noodles and place both in a bowl of warm water. Let these soak for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft.
• While these are soaking, brown ground pork, minced garlic, and garlic salt in a large pot on medium heat. Do not drain.
• Once pork is cooked, add the cans of chicken broth to the pot. Start with four cans and if you prefer your soup thinner add a few more. Keep in mind that the long rice will soak up some of the soup. Bring this to a boil before adding other ingredients.
• Take softened long rice noodles out of the warm water and add to the pork/chicken broth. Also take the softened shitake mushrooms and cut off the stems and slice into 1/4" strips and add to broth. Cover pot and cook on medium heat for another 30 minutes. Stir soup periodically during this time.
• Now add the water chestnuts and bamboo shoots into broth and cook another 10 minutes uncovered.
• Take the eggs and crack these directly into the broth and mix the broth quickly with a spoon. This will scramble the eggs into the soup.
• This is now the time to taste your broth and add salt and pepper to taste. Just keep in mind that the flavors get more intense the next day.

RICE NOODLES WITH SEARED PORK, CARROTS AND HERBS

Steps:

• Whisk the fish sauce, syrup, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the shallots, chile and garlic. Transfer 2 tablespoons liquid to a large shallow dish and add the pork. Turn to evenly coat and let stand until ready to cook.
• Stir the lime juice into the sauce in the bowl. Add the carrots and toss until evenly coated. Let stand.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until seared and just rosy in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and let stand.
• Put the noodles in the boiling water, stir well, and remove from the heat. Let stand until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain very well, then transfer to the sauce in the bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
• Cut the pork into thin slices and add to the noodles with any accumulated juices. Toss well. Toss in the herbs until well mixed. The mixture may look a bit soupy. As it sits and cools, the noodles will absorb the liquid. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold, with more herbs and lime wedges.

PORK NOODLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the mince, break it up with a spoon and fry over a high heat for about 8 mins until browning. While the meat cooks, boil a kettle, then pour the hot water over the noodles. Set aside for 5-10 mins to soften.
• Add the ginger, garlic and veg to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Mix 1 tbsp soy sauce with the cornflour to make a paste. Add the remaining soy sauce, the chilli sauce and 2 tbsp water. Drain the noodles and add to the pan with the sauce. Cook until the sauce coats the noodles, adding a splash of water if needed, then serve.
