Ginger Pork with Peanut Sauce

I want to delve more into Chinese cooking, since I know so little about it. Sure, every one knows about egg rolls, orange chicken with rice and fortune cookies. I too enjoy the American version of Chinese food. I remember one of my teachers saying that the Chinese restaurants with the red lanterns with dragons and Happy Chinese New Year on them, and other cultural embellsionments are not the real Chinese restaurants. The more I realized it the more I noticed how many restaurants resembled this. Of course, I do enjoy the all American Chinese food, but I'm always up to a good challenge, so I've decided to become better with my Chinese cooking!

Looks like an interesting book about Chinese fortune cookies!

This time I made a good and simple recipe that in all only took about an hour to make. I like those kind of recipes, they're pretty fast and easy but it also still feels like you're cooking and not just throwing something into the microwave. I always feel better when I find a good, solid recipe rather than vouching on a quick pasta that goes into the boiling water with little to no effort.

But hopefully I will keep being inspired, and the quick pasta can wait. So without further ado, here is the latest Chinese recipe!

The main ingredients in this dish are ramon noodles, pork, spinach, green onions and some spices. Altogether, making it a dish with a good variety of flavor! The main lesson I learned from cooking this meal, is how to cut green onions. I know that sounds kind of elementary but I hadn't used them before. Use the white parts because they have the flavor! You can point out the green onions from the picture above, they do add a nice touch!
