Pork & Sesame Noodles


Ingredients
* 3 packages of ramen noodles (do not need the seasoning packet)
* 2 1/2 tsp sesame oil
* 3 tbsp vegetable oil
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 5 green onions, thinly sliced and separated green from white
* 1 tbsp sesame seeds, plus additional for serving
* 3/4 lb of ground pork
* 1.5 cups snow peas, cut thinly on the bias (or any vegetables of your choice)
* 1/4 soy sauce
* 1 tbsp chili powder

Directions
1. Cook the ramen in boiling water.  After the cooking time, drain and mix with the sesame oil.  Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat.  Add the garlic and the white parts of the green onions.  Stir fry for 10 seconds and then add the sesame seeds. Stir fry for another 30 seconds.
3. Push the mixture to the sides to make room in the middle.  Add the pork to the middle and spread it out.  Let it cook for about 1 minutes, then begin to break it up.
4. Add in the snow peas (or other vegetables) and stir fry for another 30-60 seconds.
5. Add in the noodles, soy sauce and chili powder.  Stir until well combined and the sauce has thickened slightly.
6. Remove from the heat. Add in the green parts of the green onions. Serve - people can add extra sesame seeds if they choose!

Notes
This is so quick and delicious!   We love a more traditional stir fry, but Ryan came across this one and suggested we try it.  The original had ginger, but we left that out since we don't love that flavor in cooking, and udon noodles.  The udon noodles were too thick, in our opinion, so ramen noodles were a great substitute!
