Easy Thai Pork Noodles

If you are looking for a delicious and unique pork dish, you'll love this  Easy Thai Pork Noodles. This dish is easy to throw together after work with leftover pork and/or leftover noodles or can be made in advance.

This leftover pork loin with noodles is popular anytime of the year and perfect for busy weeknights. It's also Weight Watchers friendly @ only 5 WW points on my plan.

🥘 Ingredients

This Thai pork is simple because it's made with pantry items like peanut butter, soy sauce and spaghetti noodles. And it's quick to throw together (in about 30 minutes), healthy and you don't have to run to the grocery store to buy anything (see variations and substitutions if you're out of any of the ingredients). The chili garlic sauce gives it a welcome bit of spicy zip!

You'll need:

• boneless pork 
• spaghetti noodles
• peanut butter (I use crunchy, reduced fat)
• hot chili garlic paste (sauce)
• soy sauce
• rice vinegar
• chicken broth
• broccoli (fresh or frozen)
• green onions

*See recipe card for quantities

📖 Variations & Substitutions

• Pork: Use leftover pork, leftover pulled pork, ground pork, pork tenderloin or pork loin
• Noodles: Ideally, you'll want to use leftover spaghetti noodles, spaghettini or fettuccini noodles, but you could also use vermicelli noodles, wide rice noodles or any long noodle.
• Vegetables: Broccoli works well with the flavors in this recipe and you can use either fresh or frozen. You could use another vegetable such as peas or julienned carrots, as they would meld well with the flavors.
• Peanut butter: You can use smooth, crunchy. light or regular peanut butter. *I use the crunchy light (the bits of peanut add a nice texture). You could also add a little bit of crushed peanuts instead (just be sure to adjust WW points if you are following the program) Or use PB2!
• Hot chili garlic sauce: You can substitute red chili sauce and add garlic to it. Or make your own chili garlic sauce: 1 clove minced garlic, 2 tablespoon Heinz chili sauce, a ¼ teaspoon chili powder, a ¼ teaspoon cayenne and a ¼ teaspoon hot red chili flakes.
• Rice vinegar: white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
• Oil - you can substitute sesame oil

🔪Instructions

• Cook spaghetti as per package directions, drain and set aside (or use leftover noodles)
• In a small bowl, whisk peanut butter, soya sauce, rice vinegar, chili- garlic sauce and chicken broth together.

• Slice pork into thin strips
• Coat a large frying pan with non-stick cooking spray and add pork strips. Fry until brown over medium-high heat - about 3 minutes

• Meanwhile cook broccoli from frozen in microwave (or boil until fork can go through)
• Add peanut sauce to pork and reduce to medium-low. Cook, stirring until pork is cooked, about 2-3 more minutes.

Add broccoli, pasta and green onions. Stir to heat through.

🧂 Seasoning

The hot chili garlic sauce makes this a little spicy. If you want it spicier, simply add more. If you don't like spice, then I would recommend you use the substitution above, minus the spices.

I love pork and creating easy pork recipes for healthy dinners (see more recipes at the bottom of this post). Pork is healthy, quick to cook, economical and versatile so it's great when you're in a hurry, trying to eat healthy, ww friendly and on a budget. 

💰Top tip 

If you want to save money on pork, buy a whole boneless pork loin (not tenderloin), slice it up and freeze in Ziplock freezer bags. 

💭Pork Tenderloin vs. Pork Loin

You may not know the difference between pork tenderloin and pork loin- a lot of people don't. A pork loin is wider and flatter, and can be a boneless or bone-in cut of meat. A pork tenderloin is a long, narrow, boneless cut of meat that comes from the muscle that runs along the backbone. Pork tenderloin has less fat so it's leaner, smaller and a little more expensive. However, you can trim  a lot of the fat off the pork loin when you slice it. You can read more about the difference between pork tenderloin and pork loin HERE. 

🥗 Side dishes

This recipe is a meal in itself, but sometimes, I like to add a low-carb. 0 WW point side like:

• mixed vegetable with everything bagel seasoning
• Everything Bagel Cloud Bread Recipe
• garden salad
• spinach salad
• Quick Cucumber Kimchi

Dinner doesn't have to be an ordeal when you're trying to throw something together after work, while still eating healthy and keep on track with your WW goals. So, if you're looking for Thai Pork recipes or pork loin leftover ideas, that's where this Thai Pork with Noodles comes in!

Enjoy~
