Spicy Pork Loin Noodle Dish

This is a super simple recipe that is perfect to make if you are low on time, yet you still want to eat a good meal.  Pork tenderloin, ramen noodles, in a spicy sauce. It is a dish that we make often. Chances are, you probably have everything already in your pantry, so you don't have to make a special trip to the grocery store.

Ingredients

1 Tbs. butter
1 onion, sliced into half circles
2 (3 ounces) packages of ramen noodles, (do not use the flavor packets.)
1 tbs. olive oil or vegetable
1 lb. pork tenderloin, sliced thin into bite sized pieces
1 (10.8 oz.) pkg. frozen broccoli
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 to 2 tbs. chili garlic sauce

Directions

In a pot, cook ramen noodles according to package directions, but do not add the flavor packets.  Just put the flavor packets aside to use for another recipe. Drain off excess water and set the noodles aside.

In a large cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat.  Sauté the onions until tender and translucent. Remove the onions and set aside.

In the same skillet you cooked the onions in, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add the pork tenderloin. Cook and stir the meat until both sides of the pork is browned and the meat is cooked. This won't take long as the meat is thinly sliced.

Add the onions back into the skillet.

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili garlic sauce.  Mix well. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet with the pork tenderloin.  Bring to a bubble. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Add the cooked ramen noodles.  Cook and stir until everything is heated through.

Serve and enjoy. 

Notes

Use the vegetables you like best, either fresh, frozen or canned. You can add carrots, beans, or peas. If using canned vegetables, be sure to drain them first, or use that water to help flavor the ramen noodles while you are cooking them.

If you don't have pork loin, use pork chops or chicken or beef. Even ground up pork, beef or chicken will work, but make sure you cook it completely.
