Pork noodles with dragon sauce

I do like the budget bytes recipe but it’s very very salty! I blended it with a new one and I think it came out great! Kroger only has ground pork sometimes so today it’s a beef/pork mix.

Dan's version:

INGREDIENTS

DRAGON SAUCE
3 Tbsp chili garlic sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cold water mixed with 2 Tbsp cornstarch
 2 Tbsp each: peanut butter, rice vinegar or rice wine

PORK AND NOODLES
2 lb. ground pork or ground beef

8 oz. noodles (or more to taste, we don't eat much pasta)
1/4 c. fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped
5 green onions, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine all the dragon sauce ingredients in a mason jar and shake until well combined.
2. Add the ground pork to a skillet and cook over medium heat until it is fully browned. Once browned, add the prepared dragon sauce and chopped peanuts. Allow the pork and peanuts to simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half.
3. While the pork is browning, begin boiling water for your noodles. Once boiling, add your noodles and cook according to the package directions. Drain the noodles in a colander.
4. Once the sauce has reduced and the noodles have drained, add the noodles & cilantro to the skillet and toss until everything is combined and coated in sauce. Top with sliced green onions and serve!
