Hoisin Pork Noodle Bowls

Hoisin Pork Noodle Bowls – Slow cooked pork that has been shredded and tossed with stir-fried rice noodles and veggies in a hoisin-peanut sauce.

Hoisin Pork Noodle Bowl ~ The Complete SavoristOne of the best things about being food blogger is the ability to constantly give into my food cravings. Luckily, for me, most of the cravings are savory…my Coffee Lover’s Chocolate Mocha Cake notwithstanding. I keep trying to plan out my blog menus, develop a schedule, shop accordingly, most of the time I fail in this.

I’m a single mom, trying to start a second business (I’ll have more details on this soon-think food AND travel), keep this business going (yes, this website is my business, a business I love with all my heart, but still a business) and occasionally try to have a life–ya know, dinner with friends, a movie (haven’t caught one in the theater since Mockingjay, really, that long? Someone want to see a movie with me? Geez), and when hell freezes over, go on a date (it was an exceptionally warm winter here in Utah so…); therefore my planned day can unravel in mere moments…at times, if the little one walks in with a fever, the day is shot right then and there. All my best laid plans, all my good intentions can fly out the moment at any time. Making things on a whim, giving into my cravings often leads to some of my most favorite recipes.

This noodle bowl is one of those.  I write recipes all the time.  I have about 200 just sitting there, waving their little index card arms in air saying “me, me, me, pick me” every time I go to plan a menu. I wrote this recipe probably 4 months ago. It sat, waited, and now that my craving struck, it got plucked from the file folder.

Whatever is written on my index card is not set in stone.  My index card recipes are more like guidelines.  Some just list ingredients. Some have proportions. Some might even had full directions. We all know I can’t follow a recipe from someone else, so there is NO reason to believe I will follow my own recipe. This particular one had about 6 more ingredients that got cut for one reason or another (maybe they will be another post another day), but this end result is fantastic. The sauce has your taste buds jumping for joy.

This cooks up really quick if you already have your pork cooked and shredded.  Now if you want to make this and do not have  shredded pork, slice thick boneless pork chops thinly into strips and stir fry the quickly in some high heat oil and about 1 tbsp of sesame oil, once the meat is cooked, follow the rest of the directions. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did, all my taste testers were pleased too, even the almost 5 year old.

    I hear you! I’ve been in business for myself for, gosh, 17 years (with my husband) and while it allows flexibility, I work way more than I did in corporate. Love it though! I’m the opposite of you – a recipe fanatic – I would follow them to the letter, but later learned enough to create my own!

    Love dishes like this – rice noodle bowls are a staple in our home. Pinned!

      Thank you Jill. I do not have any pulled pork in the freezer…but for one reason, I can’t leave it alone long enough to make it to the freezer. It’s one of my most favorite ways to eat pork. Now, shredded chicken, that I do have in the freezer.

    The flavors in this are exactly the flavors I love. I’ve never thought to use an easy shredded pork for this kind of dish. Now that I see it, I’m thinking how much time it must save. Great idea!

    You make very hearty meals. I bet this would be perfect for dinner with the family. My taste is more Sci-fi when it comes to movies, so, if you enjoy that genre, come along.

    This was a great recipe! I made the sauce exactly as above, however, I changed up the rest and just fried up some veggies (red pepper, mushrooms, green onions, broccoli, and zucchini) along with the fried pulled pork and served it over rice. It was AWESOME!

    Part way into the sauce I realised I was missing fresh lime and chili paste, and let me tell you the difference in flavour was noticeable! I ran to the store and purchased everything so it would be exactly as you have above and it made all the difference. So, for those of you thinking you have most but not all of the ingredients, GET ALL OF THEM! It takes sauce from eh to yummy!

    This would also be great for a dressing on a Thai chicken salad!
