Chinese 5 Spiced Chop with Peanut Satay Noodles

My wife loves peanut butter and I love pork, so this recipe is a winner for both is us.

The center cut chop is rubbed with a chinese 5 spice rub. Chinese five-spice rub is a bold mix of cinnamon, clove, fennel seed, star anise and Sichuan peppercorn.

I used a variation of Emeril's "Sesame Peanut Noodle Salad" for the rice noodles. You wouldn't think that the peanut butter with the noodles would work, but they do. The key is to take it easy on the sesame oil, use light peanut butter and add some fresh chopped cilantro.
