Slow Cooker Hoisin Peanut Noodles
Well this one was certainly a winner of a dinner recipe! Slow Cooker Hoisin Peanut Noodles were cooked to perfection in the slow cooker, Crock Pot, making it a super simple meal to prepare.
It was so unique and flavorful that we all had not only seconds, but thirds!
Slow cooker meals are kind of awesome!
Especially if you are at work all day or have a particularly busy day.
I like to prepare as much as I can the evening before, then finish in the morning before I leave for work.
How to make Slow Cooker Hoisin Peanut Noodles
So the evening before I mixed the suce together and put it in the fridge.
That way it was ready for me in the morning.
The sauce is a bottle of hoisin sauce, creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger and garlic paste, and some fresh lime juice.
You could also add Sriracha for some spice.
Oh, and if you prefer you could always use fresh minced garlic and ginger instead of the paste.
In the morning all I had to do was place two pounds of pork (or chicken) in the slow cooker, and top with a diced onion and shredded carrots.
I used boneless pork chops and took some help from the store and bought pre-shredded carrots.
Pour the sauce over the meat and veggies and give it a little stir to make sure the sauce is evenly distributed.
Then turn the slow cooker to low.
After 6 to 8 hours of cooking away low and slow, shred the pork (or chicken) right in the slow cooker.
We will be adding some rice noodles to this, but first you need to cook them.
Cooking the noodles…
Usually it will give two ways to cook the noodles on the package…either boiling them or soaking them in hot water.
I soaked mine because I find they tend to get mushy when I boil them.
Once the noodles have soaked, drain the water and add the noodles to the slow cooker.
Stir them in and let it go for another 10 minutes or so on low.
