Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 8 oz wide Lo Mein noodles, cooked and rinsed

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger

Sauce and Broth

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha

Vegetables

  • 4 cups coleslaw mix

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Begin by boiling your wide Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Brown Pork and Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork along with 1/4 cup of sliced green onions. Cook, breaking up the pork with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the low-sodium chicken broth, mirin, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha. This sauce will bring a rich and spicy flavor to the dish.
  4. Combine Ingredients in Skillet: Add the cooked noodles, coleslaw mix, and the prepared sauce to the skillet with the cooked pork. Toss everything together to thoroughly coat the noodles and vegetables with the sauce.
  5. Finish and Garnish: Continue tossing and cooking for 2–3 minutes until the coleslaw mix just starts to soften but remains slightly crunchy. Remove from heat and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Use wide Lo Mein noodles or substitute with fresh egg noodles for best texture.
  • Adjust sriracha amount to control the spice level to your preference.
  • Mirin adds sweetness and depth; substitute with a tablespoon of sugar and rice vinegar if unavailable.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of dark soy sauce and ensure the noodles are gluten-free.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture; leftovers can be reheated but may lose some crispness in the vegetables.
