Drunken Rice Noodles

I have been trying really hard to widen the foods I can make at home. I would gladly spend a bunch of money to have this dish delivered to my home, so being able to make this at home, brings a little joy to my heart.

Ingredients

8 ounces of dried rice noodles
1/4 cup of canola oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 Thai chiles
2 boneless pork chops, thinly sliced and marinated in soy sauce for 5 minutes
2 tbs of sweet soy sauce
2 tbs of soy sauce
1 tbs of Thai fish sauce
1 tbs of oyster sauce
2 tbs of sugar
1 tsp of white pepper
1/2 cup of water
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 cup of snow peas, trimmed and cut in half
1 cup of basil leaves

Directions
Soak noodles in warm water for 20 minutes, then drain
Heat a 14 inch cast iron wok over medium high heat.
Add the oil, and wait until hot before adding garlic and chiles.

After the mixture is fragrant, add pork and cook through.
Add noodles, both soy sauces, fish sauce, sugar, pepper and water, and cook until noodles are soft.
Stir in peppers and snow peas until tender.
Turn off heat and stir in basil.

Changes I Made!
I had to make this without chiles, and my store only has one type of soy sauce.
I also made this in a regular cast iron skillet, not a wok.

This recipe comes from Cast Iron Nation.

Penne alla Vodka

Spaghetti Carbonana

I love pasta, and I love mixing up how I serve pasta. I'm normally not a big spaghetti fan, might have to do with how Giada pronounces it on Food Network, not sure, but I really wanted to try this sauce. This recipe also has pancetta in it, which is my favorite addition to a good pasta dish. Ingredients 1 lb of spaghetti 2 tbs of olive oil 4 ounces of pancetta, chopped 4 large eggs 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan Salt and pepper for seasoning 3 tbs of parsley Directions Cook spaghetti according to packaging.
