- 2 tablespoons sambal oelek (chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 4 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup peanuts, chopped

Directions
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sambal oelek, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, light brown sugar, lime juice, and chicken broth until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the ground pork, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is browned and fully cooked.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared peanut sauce into the skillet with the pork. Stir to coat the pork evenly with the sauce.
Step 5
Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are thoroughly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Turn off the heat and mix in half of the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 7
Divide the Spicy Peanut Pork with Rice Noodles among serving bowls. Garnish with the remaining green onions, chopped cilantro, and chopped peanuts.
