Thai Pork Noodles for Dinner
Scott and I have been trying to eat less carbs lately and I recently made Thai Pork Noodles for dinner. When I first stumbled up the recipe, it was a salad and it was supposed to be eaten cold or at room temperature. No thanks. So I added some of my own ingredients and noodles, which we had hot.
While many no carb diets, like the Keto diet are high in fat, I’m not a fan of lots of high fat foods. This dish is perfectly balanced and works well for everyone.
It’s been so hot and smokey in Seattle this past month and the last thing I want to do is stand in a hot kitchen slaving over the stove. Because of the smoke, we haven’t been spending much time on the boat this month. This is a quick dish to make and very hearty. You can certainly add some of your own favorite ingredients or spices. In hindsight, I would have added some Thai chili peppers for some added spice.
I wanted to add glass noodles and our grocery store, only had sweet potato glass noodles by Chung Jung One. I used two packages and they worked great! Plus they are gluten free!
Please share with us some of your favorite low carb dinner recipes! We’d love to hear from you.
