Ingredients
Scale
Noodles & Noodles Mix
- 8 oz wide Lo Mein noodles, cooked and rinsed
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
Protein & Aromatics
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
Sauce
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
Instructions
- Cook noodles: Begin by cooking the wide Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and prevent sticking. Set them aside to use later in the recipe.
- Brown the pork: Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and 1/4 cup of sliced green onions, breaking the pork apart with a spatula. Cook until the pork is fully browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium chicken broth, mirin, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha until well combined. This sauce will bring depth and balance of flavors to the dish.
- Add noodles and vegetables: Reduce the heat to medium and add the cooked noodles and coleslaw mix to the skillet with the browned pork. Pour the prepared sauce over the top.
- Toss and heat through: Toss everything together in the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the noodles and coleslaw to absorb the sauce and warm through. The coleslaw should soften slightly but retain some crunch.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish the noodle bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Mirin swap: Use rice vinegar with 1 teaspoon of sugar as a substitute for mirin if you don’t have it on hand.
- Soy sauce tip: Dark soy sauce adds richer color and depth, but regular soy sauce works in a pinch.
- Heat level: To increase spiciness, add more sriracha or top with chili crisp.
