  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make noodles with pork and vegetables? Gather the ingredients. Any not-too-thin noodle works, such as spaghetti. I used linguine. You can use pork tenderloin or leg. My bell peppers are two colors: red and green. The sesame oil can be swapped for any vegetable oil.

  • Keep in mind that how you cut the carrots affects the final result of this dish: grated carrots will turn to mush during cooking and blend evenly with the rest, while carrots cut into strips or sticks will hold their shape.
  • All oils are only beneficial up to a certain temperature — the smoke point — beyond which the oil starts to burn and forms toxic compounds, including carcinogens. For how to gauge frying temperature, choose the best oil for frying, and which ones to avoid entirely, read here.
