This recipe needs something...more soy sauce, maybe some fish sauce, or cayenne, I'm not sure exactly what. The noodles were perfectly cooked, as was the pork and veggies, but it was lacking in taste. Smelled fantastic though, which is what's baffling. I'll definitely try it again, but I'll be upping the spice mixture. More heat, more garlic, and maybe some onions as well. Overall, it was good, but not great.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 T cornstarch
- 2 T low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp vegetable/olive oil
- 1/2 lb pork tenderloin, sliced crosswise and cut into thin strips
- 2 tsp ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 of a 7-ounce package thin rice noodles
- 8 cups hot water
- 1 (1/2 pound) head cabbage, thinly sliced
- 6 ounces mushrooms, sliced (I used broccoli instead, as I am not a fungus lover!)
- 2 carrots, finely chopped (I used red pepper instead)
1. Whisk together the broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil in small bowl.
2. Heat 1 tsp oil in large nonstick skillet or wok, over high heat, then add pork. Saute until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in ginger and garlic. Saute, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute; transfer to a bowl. Wipe skillet clean.
3. Meanwhile, plunge the noodles in the hot water. Let stand 10 minutes; drain.
4. Heat remaining 1 tsp oil in skillet, then add cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots. Cook until cabbage begins to wilt and veggies are tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the pork mixture and the broth mixture; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in the noodles.
