On a stormy night on February 26, 2013, the momstown Milton mamas braved the cold and sought respite at Mary-Anne's cozy and inviting home to take part in an interactive and exciting Asian cooking class.
What better way than to hang out with your fellow mamas, take part in a cooking demonstration, and then enjoy a delicious hot meal?
Mary-Anne prepared an Asian Pork and Noodle Skillet that wowed the mamas with how easy it was to make (the aroma of the Chinese 5 seasoning mix filled the kitchen beautifully) and at only $5 per serving, it's budget-friendly as well.
MAKE AHEAD IDEA: This recipe works very well as a make-ahead as you can chop and prep the vegetables the night before and then just take everything out of your fridge when it's time for a momstown Milton mama to cook after a long day at work.

2. Trim fat and sliver skin from pork (Mary-Anne's tip to the Culinary Chicks: needs to be removed otherwise your meat will not be as tender). Slice pork lengthwise into 4 strips. Thinly slice strips crosswise. Combine pork, sesame oil, seasoning mix and two of the instant noodle seasoning packets into a bowl.
3. Add oil to skillet heat over med-high 1-3 minutes or until shimmering. Add the pork. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until browned. Remove and put aside.
4. Add carrots and bell pepper top skillet. Cook until tender. Add water and remaining seasoning packets, stir to loosen browned bits from skillet. Add noodles and white parts of onions. Cover and bring to boil. 4-5 minutes or until noodles are soft. Add pork; remove skillet from heat and let stand, covered, 3-4 minutes until pork is heated. Garnish with green onion.
