Crockpot Chinese Pork with Noodles – Slow cooked Chinese style pork tenderloin tossed with noodles and veggies. These noodles are bound to please the entire family!
We all love our crockpot, some more than others. But there’s a reason for that. We all have busy lives, so slaving in the kitchen is probably the last thing we want to do. I understand how you feel. I’m with you.
That’s why I have this special recipe for you today; crockpot Chinese Pork with Noodles. Yep! They are sososo delish! I just finished stuffing my face with this bowl of noodles in a yummy hoisin and sesame oil sauce with slow cooked Chinese style pork and slightly stir fried veggies drizzled with some lime juice. Drove the dog crazy as the pork was cooking in the crockpot because it fills your house with this delicious smell. Who needs perfume!
I simply adore this dish. It’s quite close to a Pad Thai but there are so many flavors going on here. For a kick I threw in some sliced serrano peppers and OMG! Those little thingies are mean! If you don’t use gloves while chopping them I strongly suggest you don’t rub your eyes after, as I did. Yikes!
The great thing about this amazing dish is that you can throw in whatever veggies you have in your fridge. I used some red peppers, carrots, shiitake mushrooms and green onions. Those are some of my favorite veggies in Chinese food so that’s what I used. But this is like a free for all. You can top these noodles with whatever you want. But you must must sprinkle chopped peanuts for that extra crunchiness and drizzle with lime juice to elevate the flavors.
To me this is the perfect dinner to have when I come home after a long day at work. It’s comfort food, it’s delicious and if you are lucky to have leftovers, it’s lunch!

I pinned this to make this week along with about umpteen other ones, but this sounds great. HOWEVER, would you please tell me how did you ever make the striped limes? I’m surprised I was the only one to ask. LOL Also, what size oval dutch oven am I seeing the videos?
Jo Cooks Team says
The limes are done with a zester! Our oval dutch oven is a 5qt.
Earline White says
have not tried this recipe yet but I will, it sounds really good. I always come to this web site for recipes because I know what I want will probably be there. You make great food. love your recipes
jo says
Thank you, my dear!
Sas says
Love this recipe. I’ve made it several times, but ran out of time today. How do you suggest cooking in an instapot??🤔🤔🤔 I rarely use my crockpot these days, as I much prefer the Instapot!:)
Jo Cooks Team says
Cut the pork into 3″ cubes, add it plus the sauce mixture to your IP. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes and let it naturally release for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
Kelly says
I am wondering if you can use Rice Noodles?
Fenne Kieken says
You could try but rice noodles tend to soften quickly and you may end up with something very different.
Hannah Syers says
had a tenderloin and no idea what to do with it! came across this recipe and i must say it turned out amazingly well! so easy and really cheap to make (as the hoi sin sauce and the soy sauce are bulk products). I only used a 1lb tenderloin and timings were just about 4 hours on low 🙂 thank you for sharing, will be useful when im doing my slimming world food next week 🙂
jo says
Glad you liked it Hannah!
kathy says
I’m planning to try this using chicken rather than pork, but I wonder – have you ever had any success with trying tufu in the crockpot. One of my children is vegetarian and she loves Chinese food. This could be the recipe!
jo says
You know that’s one thing I never tried in a crockpot, I wonder if it would break apart, unless you maybe use firm tofu. Worth a try. 🙂
natalie says
can you freeze this recipe raw like dump meals ?
jo says
Yeah you should be able to freeze all the ingredients that go in the crockpot like dump meals.
Brenda Rossi says
Hi. Just a quick question. When you say 1/2 cup tomato sauce, do you actually mean tomato paste, puree or ketchup? I am in Australia and tomato sauce here is tomato ketchup. As they are all different I need to know which one you are referring to please. Thank you….I am looking forward to trying this. Just want to get the ingredients right! lol
jo says
Hi Brenda,
I actually mean tomato sauce, if you don’t have it, just mix some tomato paste with water, same thing basically. 🙂
Brenda says
Thank you so much for your quick reply Jo! Now to get my ingredients together and make this dish! lol 🙂
jo says
Good luck Brenda, let me know how they turn out!
Melli says
Tried this today, was intimidated at first but ended up being very easy, took longest to chop veggies, tastes great and looks great.
My boys were already turning up noses when I told them what I was cooking, but the truth was in the tasting, they loved it, thank you for sharing!!
jo says
So glad you guys enjoyed it!
Foon says
OMG Jo. You rock. This is one really delicious noodle. Made it for my family and everyone agreed. I can tell that it’s going to be one of my favourites.
jo says
Thanks Foon, so glad you guys liked it. 🙂
Lisa says
What do you mean by Chinese Noodles? Ramen noodles? Rice? Soba? It looks great!
jo says
Any type of Chinese noodles you can find, ramen or Soba noodles work just fine.
Michele says
Have you tried with Udon noodles?
jo says
No I haven’t but I think they’d be great in this recipe.
Lindsey @ American Heritage Cooking says
I seem to be alone in “I hate my crockpot” Land. We have a bad relationship. But this recipe gives me hope, because I trust you. And because it looks so darn good! All the fresh veggies and the flavorful meat and the noodles! And because you decoratively zested your limes…yes, I noticed. Nice touch. 😉
jo says
LOL, hubs did that, thought they looked really pretty. 🙂 Hope you try this recipe, it’s delicious. 🙂
