I found some really meaty pork chops at the grocery store last weekend, on sale for an ungodly price – about $3 for two 1″ thick, bone-in, steak-like chops.
In the mood for something different last night, I decided to go with Asian flavors, which isn’t typical for my style of cooking although I intend to master using my wok and learn to make sushi with the kit I was given years ago, despite the fact that we do a lot of Asian takeout.
The pork chop marinade was thrown together on a whim out of pantry items, but the noodles are based off of a recipe from my aunt, one she clipped years ago from The Washington Post. That recipe included a few additional ingredients I didn’t have on hand, but I believe this version is just as delicious!

This looks (and sounds) delicious! I’ve been working to reduce the number of prepared sauces, and “dinner kits” that I use for meals. Consequently, I have not been serving up as many (well, any) asian-inspired meals as I would like. This seems like something I could do–I think I’ll dip my toe in on from-scratch asian cooking starting with your recipe. Thanks 🙂
So, you ate the noodles and sauce cold? Sounds awesome, I might have to try it. I have a sushi kit I got too. I keep meaning to try it, I think it might be a good rainy day activity for Trinity and I!
@Margaret – It’s hard to get in the habit of not using prepared stuff (heck, I still do), but having a well stocked pantry helps with that!
@Marsha – I ate it room temp the first night, but leftovers I ate cold and they were yummy! Sushi kit I might try on a day without the kids. LOL
