Pork Pad Thai

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 plump cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper
• 8 ounces Pad Thai Rice Noodles
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (or canola oil)
• 1 pound pork (strips (pork stroganoff or I used sirloin chops and sliced into strips))
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 cup carrots (julienned)
• 1 red bell pepper (julienned)
• 1/4 cup green onion (sliced thin)
• 1/4 cup peanuts
• 2 tablespoons cilantro
• Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   Place all sauce ingredients in an 8 ounce jar and shake until well combined.

2. 2

   Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Remove from heat and drop noodles in. Stir to separate and cover with a lid. Let them soak for 6-7 minutes until al dente (you don't want them too soft since you'll be stir frying them).

3. 3

   Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and pork strips and cook until evenly browned on all sides and fully cooked (5-6 minutes). Add the sprouts, carrots, pepper, and noodles in with the pork and stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and mix in the sauce, green onions, and peanuts. Top with cilantro and sesame seeds and serve.
