Thai Pork Noodle Bowl Recipe

 

Thai Pork Noodle Bowl

4 boneless ribeye (rib) pork chops (3/4 to 1 inch thick)

Marinade:        ¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup chopped cilantro or 1 Tbsp. dried cilantro

3 cloves garlic, crushed

3 Tbsp. brown sugar

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1 lime, juiced

Peanut Noodles & Sauce:         10 oz. pasta (spaghetti, linguini or angel hair)

1 lime, juiced

2 cloves, finely minced

½ cup peanut butter

1 cup hot water

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

 

In large baking dish, arrange ribeye pork chops evenly.  Whisk marinade ingredients together in bowl.  Set ¼ cup marinade in refrigerator.  Pour remaining marinade over pork chops and marinate 20-30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.  Whisk together remaining peanut sauce ingredients in large bowl.  Drain cooked pasta; toss with peanut sauce.  Add more soy sauce if desired.

Heat an indoor grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high.  Remove pork chops from marinade and discard excess marinade.  Place pork chops on hot grill and cook 4 minutes on each side, flipping once until internal temperature of pork measures between 145 F. (medium rare) and 160 F. (medium) on meat thermometer.

Transfer grilled pork chops to a cutting board and let rest 3 minutes.  Slice pork against grain.  Pour reserved refrigerated marinade over sliced pork and serve over peanut noodles.         4 servings

Cajun Chicken and Pasta Recipe

Cajun Chicken and Pasta

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips

1 Tbsp. CAJUN SEASONING

2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

1 green or red bell pepper, cut into thin strips (for more color, use ½ pepper of each color)

3-4 green onions with tops, thinly sliced

6 large mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 ½ cups half & half milk can be used if thickened with cornstarch

½ tsp. CALIFORNIA BASIL

¼ tsp. MINCED LEMON PEEL

½ tsp. LEMON PEPPER

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. GRANULATED GARLIC POWDER

1 Tbsp. cornstarch mixed with t Tbsp. water (optional)

8 oz. pasta (broad egg noodles or radiator work well), cooked and drained

Place the chicken and CAJUN SEASONING in a plastic bag and shake to coat.  In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes (just until it loses the pink color).  Add the peppers, onions and mushrooms and cook and stir for another 3-4 minutes.  Add the half & half and the remaining seasonings; heat through.

If the sauce is thinner than you like, thicken it up with the cornstarch/water mix.  Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain.  Serve the chicken over the cooked pasta.

This goes great with a tossed salad and crusty bread.            4 servings
