Thai Pork and Noodles
PIN THIS RECIPE!I shaved my legs. Now they itch. I hate using old razors. Stupid poor decisions.
I’ve been listening to A LOT of music lately. And I only do this when I’m REALLY happy. I wonder what it is…hmmm. I have two songs I keep playing on repeat. The first song is this intense. If you don’t like house music, then don’t take a gander. If you do, I like you. We should hang out. And go dancing. And the second song is a song my girlfriend Sam introduced me to. Good ole’ Pat Noonan and his wonderful YouTube music is pretty epic to listen to. What a badass. Hey Pat, would you mind letting me borrow your video man. I don’t know how to make videos. Or edit them. Or upload them. Or post them. Kcoolthanks.
Speaking of videos, I’m thinking about making some cooking videos!! That’s why I need Pat Noonan. Come on bro. But with videos, you guys can fully know how awkward I am when it comes to cooking AND being on video. GENIUS. Then you can see my frightening kitchen. I’ll clean it before I make a video. Ugh. Maybe I’ll make nut butter so it’s really easy to hear me. I don’t know. Now I’m just nervous.
I need to go dancing this weekend. I need to feel some beats in my soul. When I was younger, I used to go dancing Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Every.Week. I would literally dance until I was dripping sweat. And I’ve talked about how sweaty I am. Imagine me on an extremely crowded dance floor with creepy ass dudes. I would sweat bullets trying to dance away from those bros. But my dance life had decreased. Probably because most clubs are for 18 year olds and I’m not looking to bump and grind on some child boy. Oh, that comment is going to get me in trouble.
Speaking of child boys, it’s my wod partners birthday today. He’s actually a man. Gettin’ up there. Happy Birthday Jason. May your day be filled with carrot cake cupcakes. It will be. I made them. Lucky bastard.
Did you know Valentine’s Day is coming up? That’s f*ckin stupid.
PrintThai Pork and Noodles
- Prep Time: 25 mins

- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 4-5 1x
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1lb chopped pork
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Aminos
- 1 tablespoon siracha chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

To garnish:
- bundle of green onions
- bundle of cilantro
- 3–4 carrots, shredded
- sliced almonds, to top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Cut your spaghetti squash in half, lengthwise, then use a spoon to remove the excess strings and seeds.
- Place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until spaghetti squash is tender.
- While your squash is cooking, pull out a large skillet and place under medium heat with your 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and your minced garlic cloves.
- Add your yellow to the pan to sweat for a couple minutes.
- Now add your chopped pork and saute to get the pork browned on all sides.
- Once pork has browned a bit, add your coconut milk, almond butter, and the rest of the ingredients, other than the garnish.
- Stir all ingredients together until the almond butter begins to break brown and you get more of a sauce.
- Cover to let simmer, keeping an eye on it to stir if the sauce begins to thicken to much.
- Once spaghetti squash is done cooking, use a fork to pull the threads out and place them directly to the pan with your pork and sauce.
- Mix to combine.
- Place in bowl and top with green onions, cilantros, almonds, and carrots!

When you were younger? Jesus Juli, I almost forgot how OLD you’re getting. Lock it up lady! I say just jump right into the videos. You’ll do fine.
Lol was waiting for a comment from you Damon, knew that was coming.
*bounce bounce bounce* good music to grind through work, which SUUUUUCKS BALLS today.
I’m sorry Ruthie!! Keep on listening!
Pretty pumped to make this. You are a genius. And hysterical. I need to go dancing and feel some beats in my soul too. Valentines Day is a terrible idea.
Let’s go dancing together. F*ck dudes.
Just found your blog about 6 days ago, already made 4 of your recipies. This one is next!

Are you serious Alex?! That’s officially the most bad ass thing I’ve heard in a while!
Hi Juli! Stumbled on your blog and am looking forward to trying some of these awesome Paleo recipes! If you don’t mind, what fish sauce do you use?
You make my day everyday 🙂
You’re wonderful ash
Old? Like 23? Go get some dancing. Waive your arms big. Best Valentine’s Day I ever had was when the jeweler called me to tell me he was able to re-sell my ex’s ring. True story.
Hahahahaha that’s awesome Tom. I can’t wait to write my vday post. it’ll be interesting!!
Back in the day I used to go out dancing and sweating all.the.time, never caring how soaked and gross I was. Ahhh, good times. I think you still have it in you, you just need to find better clubs (i.e., with males older than 18 but younger than midlife men who’ve just divorced and are on the prowl). My dancing in public days are behind me, because now when people my age try to bust it on the dance floor they look pathetic, and I don’t want to be “that guy” (gal).
Just close your eyes, it feels right. then you can’t see people staring in horror. thats what i do.
Hey Juli!! I’m honored to have gotten a shout out in your post, you rock!! If you ever have any questions or want any help getting started with making videos I’m totally here for you, I’d be happy to do anything I can to help 🙂
Pat Noonan!!!! The one and only commented on MY blog. omg. I will most likely be emailing and asking you hundreds of questions!! You rock!
I think I want to be you when I grow up… Not in a weird way……………………… I think you maybe only have a year or two on me, but still, it’s a goal of mine.
You rock Tiffany! Thanks for being awesome 🙂 let’s be best friends.
Ok ok fine, if you come to DC we can do burpees and eat almond butter in front of the Lincoln Memorial
Oh sh*t yeah. I’m there
Brilliant! Now I know what to do with my leftover pork roast.
Good Amanda!!

CARROT CUPCAKES? WHERE’S THE RECIPE FOR THAT? I ADORE CARROT CAKE 🙂
check it out Dannielle!! They are amazing!
I have everything, except the fish sauce. The health food store has promised they’d get it three weeks straight…I’ve given up and am ordering it on Amazon. But it’s twice as much bc of shipping. LAME. Should I wait to make it or just try it without it?
Hmmmm I’m sure it would still be good without with Chrissy!
I just started reading your blog! I <3 it! I'm going to give this recipe a shot. Also – vday is ridic…but I've got a funny valentine I can bring you when I come to xfit Monday. 🙂
Happy Thurzballs tomorrow!
You rock Lara. Stupid vday
just had to let you know that this curry “wow’ed” me so much, i made a double batch tonight.. it’s so good, i hate to share it with anyone. lol
Glad you liked it Dannielle!!
Went to dig in the US Wellness freezer supply and ground chicken came out instead of pork, but it still turned out to be ‘killer-awesome’!! Thanks, Juli, you totally rock!
Glad you still liked it Amy!
HO.LEE.CRAP. This recipe is amazing. That is all, carry on.

glad you liked it Brooke!
I would probably eat this 7 days a week and be happy with it. F’ING DELICIOUS. I cooked pork tenderloin in a pressure cooker for an hour and then shredded it instead of using chopped pork. Highly recommend it.
★★★★★
Ooooo I totally want to try that now!!
Stupid good. I wanted to lick the bowl but my boyfriend was watching. Here are (less awesome than yours) photos of how it turned out: http://wholefoodhalfass.com/post/20156862740/march-29-dinner-thai-pork-and-noodles-m-made

Your site is the first I visit when searching for new recipes (having gone paleo a bit over a year ago). THIS recipe was the best I’ve tried in awhile. While I’m not necessarily looking forward to running a calorie count, I AM looking forward to nomming down the leftovers.

My family and I have recently changed over to a paleo diet and we have been pleased with the recipes on this site. But this Thai pork and noodles has become the family favorite. Thank you for sharing and keep the great recipes coming. With recipes like this my 7 yr old son has had no problem transitioning to the new diet, he actually wants me to make this for his birthday.
