Citrus Pork with Egg Noodles
Print Options
Under the headings of quick, easy, and a good way to stretch a half pound of pork, I present my friend Heidi's Citrus Pork with Egg Noodles. I'll admit that I was skeptical at first, but it's surprisingly good and uses ingredients most of us can find all year round. Next time I think I'll add a teaspoon of grated orange peel or some sliced kumquat for an added citrus edge.
