Pork Tenderloin with Dan Dan Noodles

This dish has 3 parts: Pork Tenderloin, Dan Dan Sauce, and Linguine.

Pork Tip: Pork is lean meat and can become very dry if overcooked. If preparing this dish with the stovetop method, we recommend using an instant-read thermometer to ensure your pork is cooked just to 145°F. If cooking in an Instant Pot, the pork will reach a higher internal temperature and will be shreddable.

Pasta:

1. Boil linguine in salted water for 9–11 minutes, until cooked al dente.
2. Drain and set aside.

Please Note: Cooking times are estimates and vary based on your actual stovetop, Instant Pot, oven, or grill, as well as item thickness and starting temperature. For best results, always verify the internal temperature of your meals. We recommend instant-read pocket thermometers – they are inexpensive, convenient, and very easy to use.
