Garlic & Ginger Marinated Grilled Pork Chops with Sesame Noodles

I love grilled pork chops marinated in crushed garlic and ginger. The problem is what to serve with the chops. I always tend to lean toward Asian flavors with pork because potatoes or rice with pork just seems a little mid west bland. With the sesame noodles I can carry the same theme of the ginger and garlic. I also pick up flavor from the soy sauce and sesame oil and the heat from the onion and red pepper flakes. A lovely dish to satisfy you Asian craving.
