Crispy Pork and Broccoli Noodles

Crispy pork and broccoli noodles are a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner. With chili oil, garlic, and crunchy peanuts, this dish is hearty and satisfying.

I love recipes that bring together comfort food and fresh vegetables in one dish. Crispy pork and broccoli noodles check all the boxes. The pork is golden and flavorful, the broccoli adds freshness, and the noodles tie everything together with a simple chili oil and crunchy peanuts. It is a complete meal in one bowl.

The first time I made this, my wife smiled from the very first bite. The noodles soaked up the sauce perfectly, and the pork had that irresistible crispness. My grandchildren even went back for seconds, which is always the best compliment. It became one of those dishes everyone asked me to make again.

What I like most is how fast this recipe comes together. In less than 30 minutes, you have a meal that feels special but is easy enough for a busy weeknight. It is hearty, flavorful, and keeps everyone at the table happy.

Questions You May Have About This Recipe

Can I use a different protein instead of pork?
Yes, ground chicken or turkey works well, though the flavor will be a little lighter.

What type of noodles should I use?
Rice noodles, egg noodles, or even linguine work. Choose what you have on hand.

Is the chili oil too spicy?
It adds a kick, but you can control the heat by using less or adding more to taste.

Do I need a wok to make this recipe?
A large skillet is fine. Just make sure it gets hot enough to crisp the pork.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?
The pork is best fresh, but you can prep the vegetables and sauce in advance.

What You Need to Make Crispy Pork and Broccoli Noodles

1 pound ground pork

12 ounces noodles (rice noodles, egg noodles, or linguine)

3 cups broccoli florets

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 tablespoons chili oil (adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Crispy Pork and Broccoli Noodles

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground pork and cook until browned and crispy, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.

Add garlic and onion, cooking until softened.

Stir in broccoli florets and cook until tender but still bright green.

Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. Toss to coat evenly.

Add noodles to the pan and mix everything together.

Serve topped with chopped peanuts and extra chili oil if desired.

Tips

For extra crunch, toast the peanuts before adding them.

If you like more heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Swap broccoli for green beans or bok choy if you prefer.

Cook the pork in batches if your skillet is small, so it crisps instead of steaming.
