Leftover Pulled Pork: Spicy Asian Noodles



It was that time again, Crockpot pulled pork! Patrick had a guys' day yesterday and BBQ pulled pork is what they requested. Even after multiple sandwiches and giving plenty to take home, we still had a ton left over. I think my most creative side comes out when I have to use leftovers, because having the same thing over and over again can be boring! Nachos, pizza, and tacos have all been made with the leftover pulled pork, but tonight, I was craving Asian food! So, I pulled together what I had in the pantry and voila, it worked really well!


Recipe:

Ingredients
1-2 cups of leftover pulled pork
1 package of Ramen
2 cups of sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons of Sriracha (add more if you can handle it)
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
2 teaspoons of chili powder
1 tablespoon of olive oil



Directions
  1. Cook the Ramen according to the package. Drain but reserve one half cup of the Ramen water.
  2. Start to cook the mushrooms with the olive oil in a wok.
  3. Once the mushrooms are halfway cooked, reduce heat and add the pork and chili powder.
  4. Once the pulled pork is heated and mushrooms are cooked, stir in your Ramen, Sriracha, and reserved water. Let cook for several minutes and then serve.
