This was my first time trying a Thai dish and I my daughter and I loved it! My husband on the other hand had seconds of the pork…but didn’t care very much for the noodles. (Which I knew he wouldn’t, I even told him to take some of the spaghetti before I added the peanut sauce. Kudos to him though, he at least tried it 😉 ). I got it from a Pork Checkoff ad in a magazine, which I altered just a little bit. I think the flavors in this Thai Pork Noodle Bowl recipe blend perfectly and the recipe is really quite easy to make.

Got peanut butter in it so it must be good.
I really love this idea. The pork and noodle mix sound like a good way to mix protein and carbs
