Dan Dan Noodles - CSA|365

Ingredients

• 1 pound frozen fresh wide Chinese egg noodles or lo mein noodles, thawed
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1/3 cup dry-roasted peanuts
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Sambal Oelek (ground fresh chile paste)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
• 8 ounces lean ground pork, such as Springdell Farms
• seasonal cooling veggie for garnish, such as cucumber, bean sprouts, or thinly sliced green cabbage or kohlrabi
• Boil the water for the noodles and once boiling, cook them for 3 minutes. Drain.
• In a large pan over medium high heat, add coconut oil and melt.
• Add, stir and toast peanuts for about 2 minutes, then skim them out of the oil.
• By now, your pork should be on it’s way to browned! When it is, add the peanut mixture (and scallions if using) and cook while stirring to combine.
• Next, add the drained noodles and gently stir the noodles into the peanut & meat mixture. Remove from heat and serve immediately, topping with your seasonal cooling veggie of choice.
