Crispy Pork Noodle Bowl with Thai Basil Pesto<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I moved my son back to college yesterday, and we made one of his favorite dinners the night before \u2013 crispy pork noodle bowl<\/a> with Thai basil pesto. I had made the Thai basil pesto a few days before (using a different recipe<\/a>), covered it with sesame oil and stored it in the fridge. So, so good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made one batch earlier this month and froze it for use in the future. I had experimented with freezing it last year and found it to freeze very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
