Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

A creamy rich peanut sauce finishes this quick weeknight stir-fry that we last featured in 2018. We often serve stir-fry over rice, but this version is served over thin rice noodles for something a little different.
Smarts: If making Thursday's summer rolls, be sure to make a double batch of noodles tonight. The cooked noodles can be stored in a container of water in the fridge (drain before using).

Make

Cook noodles according to package directions. (Note: Many varieties of rice noodles need just to be soaked in hot water until tender. If making Thursday’s meal, prepare noodles for that night at the same time.)
Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add first part of oil and then pork to heated oil. Saute until pork is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
Return wok to heat and add second part of cooking oil. Add carrots and white parts of green onions and saute until carrots are tender, ~5 minutes. Add a splash of water if the pan starts to look dry.
Add cabbage and saute until cabbage is tender but still has a bit of crunch, 1 to 3 minutes more.
Move cabbage to the side of the pan, forming a donut in the middle. Pour stir-fry sauce into the donut and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce thickens.
Add pork back to pan and toss everything to coat in sauce.
Serve pork and vegetables over noodles (reserve half if doubled). Top with peanuts and green parts of green onions. Add some hot sauce if you’d like. Enjoy!
