Hot chow fun in the summertime

Wow, its hot today. I want something fast and super easy for supper. Let's see, I have two thin cut pork loin chops and some coleslaw mix in a bag. I can run across the street for some chow fun noodles at the Chinese supermarket. If you'd like a quick Chinese meal, here's what to do:

Cut away any fat from the pork chops and slice into thin strips. Marinate the pork in a little soy sauce and cornstarch. Eyeball the amounts, you just want to coat the strips lightly. This will keep the pork juicy and create a slight crust when they're cooked.

Slice half an onion very thinly. Heat some canola oil and a dash of sesame oil in a large frying pan, preferably non-stick. Saute the pork until just cooked through, only a couple of minutes, and remove from the pan. Add the sliced onion and coleslaw mix to the pan and stir fry until just crisp/tender.

While cooking the meat and vegetables, prepare the chow fun noodles as directed on the package and drain. (You can also sustitute regular, flat egg noodles) Also combine about one-eighth of a cup of soy sauce with two tablespoon of hoisin sauce, one teaspoon of chili paste with garlic and one tablespoon of cornstarch. Add enough water to the mixture to make one cup.

When the veggies are done add the meat and the soy mixture and let come to a boil until the liquid thickens slightly. Turn off the heat and toss in the noodles. If you have some peanuts on hand, chop a few and throw them on top before serving. Chow fun, baby!
