Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz wide Lo Mein noodles, cooked and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sliced green onions, divided
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
Sauce Ingredients
- 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: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the 8 oz wide Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain the noodles, rinse them under cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
- Brown Pork: Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground pork and 1/4 cup sliced green onions. Cook, breaking up the pork with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together 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, and 1/2 teaspoon sriracha until fully combined.
- Toss Ingredients: Reduce heat to medium and add the cooked noodles and 4 cups coleslaw mix to the skillet with the pork. Pour the sauce over everything and toss together for 2 to 3 minutes, until the coleslaw slightly softens and the noodles and pork are well coated with the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the dish with the remaining 2 tablespoons sliced green onions and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Mirin Swap: If you don’t have mirin, substitute with rice vinegar plus 1 teaspoon sugar for sweetness.
- Soy Sauce Tip: Dark soy sauce adds richer color and depth of flavor, but regular soy sauce can be used if needed.
- Adjust Heat: Increase the amount of sriracha or add chili crisp to boost the spice level to your preference.
