Lemongrass Pork

In general I really like Plateds asian selections and this was no exception.

What I liked - I liked the contrast of the crispy pork with the soft noodles and the combo of sweet (agave) and spicy (only added a little siriacha but enough to give it some warmth).  The broth wasn't really a broth for me more of a thicher sauce, but I liked it this way as it clung to the noodles and gave them a nice flavor.

What I didn't like - I can't think of anything this was a real winner in my book.

My modifications - I made the pork a little ahead of time and let it sit out in the agave sesame mixture.  I don't think this made any difference, but it did allow me to snack a bit on the pork which was tasty.  Only added about half a packet of the siriacha but this was the perfect amount of spice for me. 

If this one shows up again I will definitely be getting it.  4.5 stars (Ok I rarely hand out 5 stars).
