What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Foodstuff Redefined: Lo Mein Made Simple! Do you ever go to the refrigerator and wonder what to make for dinner? I do. Recently my leftovers consisted of a couple of pork tenderloin fillets, grilled over the weekend, plus some veggies in the produce bin. Not quite enough. Unless you throw them all together in an amazing sauce. I didn’t exactly have Lo Mein egg noodles, but I did have some dried pasta on hand. Who doesn’t? The results were mouth-watering!
LO MEIN MADE SIMPLE
Ingredients:
8 ounces angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
8 baby carrots, julienned
1/2 cup fresh snow peas
1 cup baby spinach
1 tablespoon pimento, sliced
2 pork fillets, grilled and cut up
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Green onion snips for garnish
Ingredients for sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons agave nectar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions:
In a 2-quart pan of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, agave nectar, sesame oil, ground ginger, sriracha, and red pepper flakes. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, sliced mushrooms, garlic powder, and carrot strips. Cook 3-4 minutes until tender, stirring frequently. Add snow peas, baby spinach, and pimento slices. Stir until spinach has wilted. Add pork fillet chunks. Heat through. Add cooked pasta and soy sauce mixture. Gently toss to combine. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onion snips. Serve immediately.
You always meet my taste, Gail π
