🥘 Ingredient Notes

This Thai pork is simple because it's made with pantry items like peanut butter, soy sauce, and spaghetti noodles. I often have both leftover pork and spaghetti noodles, so it's super easy!

• Spaghetti noodles. I usually use leftover spaghetti noodles for this recipe. I always have leftovers when I make my Secret Ingredient Spaghetti Sauce.
• Peanut butter. I use reduced fat crunchy.
• Hot chili garlic paste (sauce). The chili garlic sauce gives it a welcome bit of spicy zip!
• Rice vinegar. This gives the dish a hint of tanginess.
• Broccoli. You can use either fresh or frozen broccoli

📖 Recipe Variations & Substitutions

• Pork: Use leftover pork, leftover pulled pork, ground pork, pork tenderloin or pork loin
