Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring the 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Add the dried noodles and baby carrots to the boiling water.
  3. Cook uncovered for 5 minutes until the carrots are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the green onions to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes more.
  5. Drain the noodles, carrots, and green onions, then divide them among four serving plates.
  6. Meanwhile, diagonally slice the pork tenderloin into 12 even slices.
  7. Sprinkle the pork slices evenly with the coarse black pepper.
  8. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Cook the pork slices in the hot oil for 4 minutes, turning occasionally.
  10. Turn the slices over and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, or until no longer pink inside.
  11. Remove the cooked pork from the skillet and set aside on a plate, keeping it warm.
  12. Carefully pour the apple juice into the hot skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  13. Stir in the mustard and mix well with the apple juice.
  14. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, uncovered, and cook for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  15. Stir in the maple syrup and vinegar.
  16. Boil the sauce for 1 more minute to thicken it slightly.
  17. Arrange the pork slices on top of the noodles on each plate.
  18. Spoon the hot maple-apple sauce generously over the pork and serve immediately.
