Ingredients

1/2 lb boneless pork loin
2 cups snap pea pods
1 cup baby-cut carrots, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch sticks
1/2 package (9 oz) refrigerated linguine, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/3 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32 oz carton)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped gingerroot
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
Toasted sesame seed, if desired

Directions

1

Trim fat from pork. Cut pork with grain into 2x1-inch strips; cut strips across grain into 1/8-inch slices (pork is easier to cut if partially frozen, about 1 1/2 hours). Remove strings from pea pods.
2

Heat 2 quarts water to boiling in 3-quart saucepan. Add pea pods, carrots and linguine; heat to boiling. Boil 2 to 3 minutes or until linguine is just tender; drain.
3

In small bowl, mix broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, garlic and gingerroot.
4

Spray wok or 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat until cooking spray starts to bubble. Add pork and onion; cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes or until pork is no longer pink. Stir broth mixture into pork mixture. Stir in pea pods, carrots and linguine. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with sesame seed.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Use a 10-ounce package of frozen snap pea pods, thawed and drained, if fresh pea pods are not available.
tip 2
To toast sesame seed, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet and cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
