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
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
4 cups coleslaw mix

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions, then rinse them under cold water and set aside to drain.
Step 2: Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and 1/4 cup of sliced green onions. Brown the pork until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, mirin, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha until well combined.
Step 4: Add the cooked noodles, coleslaw mix, and the sauce mixture to the skillet with the pork. Toss everything together and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated and warmed through.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian version, substitute ground pork with crumbled tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Add a handful of chopped fresh cilantro or toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the sriracha or include a sliced chili pepper.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Adding a splash of water or broth during reheating can help maintain moisture.
