Pork Lo Mein

I am typically intimidated by anything that sounds as fancy as “Pork Lo Mein.”  I’m just not a very adventurous cook, but I decided to try this out and it was to die for!  So incredibly easy and so good you’ll think you’re having take-out.  Try it and let me know what you think.

1 pound pork tenderloin, sliced lengthwise and then into 1/4 inch slices (I think chicken or beef would probably work too)
1/4 c soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced (I used 3tsp of the bottled stuff)
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 c. fresh snow peas
equivalent of one sweet bell pepper, thinly sliced (I used half of an orange one and 1/4 each of a red and yellow one)
3 c. cooked spaghetti (I used Tinkyada.  I think texture-wise this one is fantastic for recipes like this)
1/3 c. chicken broth
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
In a large Ziploc bag, combine the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes.  Add the pork, shake it up nice and refrigerate it for about 20 min.  Spray a large skillet with cooking spray.  Pour entire contents of bag into the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-6 min or until meat is cooked through.  Add peas and peppers and stir-fry for one minute.  Stir in the spaghetti and broth and heat it through.  Remove from heat and stir in the oil.

This will be the most delicious thing you eat all week. I promise.
