Spicy Pork Peanut Noodles

This is one for my friends that need CALORIES! You can certainly still eat it if you’re in a cut and eating less calories, I would just pair it with some veggies on the side to add more volume, do a leaner meat such as ground chicken or turkey or add more cabbage/less noodles. I want to say you could try doing something like banza pasta for more protein, but that might be weird lol. If you try it let me know how it goes!

Adjust the chili crisp to your desired heat level. You can buy it pre-made or make your own!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb ground pork

• 1 tbsp avocado oil

• 4 scallions sliced, whites separated from greens

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

FOR THE SAUCE:

• 3 tbsp peanut butter

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp sesame oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Start off by cooking noodles according to package directions, being careful not to overcook.

2. Heat large pan over med-high heat. Add avocado oil to pan until simmering. Add pork and cook until browned. If there is excess fat in the pan, drain it.
