Another New Recipe - Pork Lo Mein

Remember this post about recipes and my idea to share some once in awhile? Well I've got some good things planned, so if they turned out, I'll share! And guess what? Tonight's DID turn out! The kids LOVED it, and it was fairly easy to make!!



* 1/2 lb boneless pork loin (you can substitute chicken for pork)

* 1/3 cup chicken broth

* 1 tablespoon soy sauce

* 2 teaspoons cornstarch

* 1 teaspoon sugar

* 2 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

* 2 teaspoons finely chopped gingerroot

* 2 cups fresh sugar snap peas

* 1 cup read-to-eat baby carrots (cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch sticks)

* 1/2 package (9-oz size) refrigerated linguine, cut into 2-inch pieces

* 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

* Toasted sesame seed, if desired

1. Trip fat from pork. Cut pork with grain into 2x1-inch strips; cut strips across grain into 1/8-inch slices. In small bowl, mix broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, garlic and gingerroot; set aside.




2. In 3-quart saucepan, heat 2 quarts water to boiling. Add peas, carrots and linguine; return to boiling. Boil 2 to 3 minutes or until linguine is just tender; drain.



3. Spray wok or 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat until cooking spray starts to bubble. Add pork and onion; stir-fry about 2 minutes or until pork is no longer pink. Stir in broth mixture. Add peas, carrots and linguine. Stir-fry 2 minutes longer. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.



* I highly recommend doubling this recipe. I doubled this recipe and it made enough for 3 adult servings and 4 kid servings.
