These spicy pork and peanut noodles are the perfect quick and easy weeknight dinner, ready in just 20 minutes. Made with flavorful pork mince and a simple four-ingredient sauce, this dish comes together faster than ordering takeout – and tastes way better!
Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- ½ cup Soy sauce
- ¼ cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Chili and garlic sauce
For the Noodles:
- 450 grams Dried noodles
- 500 grams Pork mince
- 1 tbsp Peanut oil
- ¼ cup Peanuts
- 1 head Broccoli
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, mix together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the packet directions. Chop the broccoli into small bite-sized pieces and add to the pot of noodles just as they are finishing cooking. Cook for another minute until tender. Drain both the noodles and broccoli, then set aside.
- In a frying pan, heat the peanut oil over medium heat. Cook the pork mince until brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
- Add the peanuts, broccoli, and noodles to the browned mince and mix through the sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles. Sprinkle over sesame seeds, if using, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cook Noodles and Broccoli Together: Add the broccoli to the boiling noodles in the last minute of cooking. This saves time and ensures perfectly tender broccoli.
- Prep Sauce Ahead: Mix the sauce ingredients in advance and store in a jar. This makes the cooking process quicker and easier when you're ready to cook.
- Crisp the Pork: Let the pork mince brown well before adding other ingredients. This adds extra flavor and a nice texture to the dish.
