Quick, easy and delicious, my Sticky Pork Noodles are a family favourite! Egg noodles, minced (ground) pork and veggies come together quickly to create a complete meal with tons of flavour from a sticky, sweet and salty sauce. I like to use frozen vegetables to save on prep time so that I can have dinner on the table in just 15 minutes, but you can make this recipe your own and use your favourite vegetables. Because it’s budget-friendly, easy to prepare and a hit with the kids, this recipe is an excellent addition to your weekly meal plan. Try these noodles topped with fried eggs, fried shallots and chilli oil to amp up the protein and flavour.
Can you make Sticky Pork Noodles ahead of time?
Sticky Pork Noodles are best cooked and served immediately.
Are Sticky Pork Noodles suitable for leftovers?
Sticky Pork Noodles can be refrigerated for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave. Not suitable to freeze.
