SPICY PEANUT PORK NOODLES (GLUTEN FREE)
These spicy peanut pork noodles feature crispy pork, a creamy peanut sauce and fresh spinach for an addicting one-dish dinner that you'll want to make on repeat. The brand of rice noodles you use makes a big difference in terms of texture, so pay attention to the quantities. If you use Lotus Foods Pad Thai Rice Noodles (which I love for their toothsome bite), you'll need two packages, or 1 pound. If you use Annie Chun's or Thai Kitchen brand, use 1 box, or 8 ounces (you can use white or brown rice noodles for any brand). If you prefer, you can swap out the pork for ground turkey. Take note that the peanut sauce will taste very potent on its own, but it will get diluted with chicken broth when it goes into the pan. The sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil (this will be for the noodles in a bit). While the water comes to a boil, make the peanut sauce.
- In a mini food processor, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth (the sauce will taste quite strong at this point, but it will mellow considerably when tossed with the broth and noodles). Do Ahead: The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Cook the noodles in the boiling water according to the package directions. Drain and rinse in cold water.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch pan over high heat until it's shimmering. Add the pork, and season with salt and pepper. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon, then let it cook without stirring until it's brown and crispy on the bottom in several places, about 3-5 minutes. Scooch the meat to one side of the pan (it's okay if it's not fully cooked at this point), tilt the pan, and spoon off the fat (discard the fat).
- Add the garlic (if using), and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the spinach and cook, tossing with tongs, until wilted.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the chicken broth and peanut sauce. Add the cooked noodles. Cook, stirring (tongs are helpful here), until the sauce is bubbling and has evenly coated the noodles (it will only take a minute or two). If the pan looks dry, add more broth as needed (this will depend on the brand of rice noodles you use). Stir in the scallions, and season with salt and pepper.
- Swirl the pork noodles into serving bowls and garnish with more scallions and chopped peanuts. Serve with Sambal Oelek or sriracha for drizzling.

- Transfer the pork mixture to the bowl with the noodles. Add half of the scallion greens and cilantro and toss to coat, adding enough of the reserved pasta water to loosen. Serve topped with the remaining jalapeno, scallion greens and cilantro.
