Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups uncooked gemelli (twist) pasta (5 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 cups snap pea pods
1 cup shredded carrots
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 package (3 ounces) Oriental-flavor ramen noodle soup mix
1 package (about 1 pound) teriyaki-flavored pork tenderloin
Bibb or butterhead lettuce leaves
1 tablespoon sesame seed, toasted

Steps:

  • Cook and drain pasta as directed on package, adding pea pods during last minute of cooking. Rinse with cold water; drain. Mix pasta, pea pods and carrots in large bowl.
  • Mix sugar, oil, soy sauce and seasoning packet from soup mix in small bowl with wire whisk (sugar and seasonings will dissolve during refrigeration). Pour dressing over pasta mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
  • Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Cover and grill pork 5 to 6 inches from medium heat 15 to 20 minutes or until pork is slightly pink in center. Cut pork into thin slices.
  • Break ramen noodles into pieces. Add to pasta mixture; toss. Line serving platter or 4 plates with lettuce leaves. Spoon pasta mixture into center of serving platter or divide among 4 plates. Arrange pork slices on top; sprinkle with sesame seed.
