Ingredients

Scale

Noodles & Meat

  • 8 oz wide LoMein noodles (or spaghetti/udon as substitutes)
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 3/4 cup sliced green onions, divided (1/4 cup for cooking, 1/2 cup for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable/canola oil)

Vegetables & Slaw

  • 4 cups coleslaw mix (green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (or substitute with rice vinegar plus a pinch of sugar)
  • 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce (or regular soy sauce with a splash of molasses)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Boil the LoMein noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and rinse under cold water to stop further cooking and remove excess starch. Set aside.
  2. Sauté 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. Cook, breaking apart the pork, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, mirin, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Combine everything: Add the cooked noodles, coleslaw mix, and prepared sauce to the skillet with the cooked pork. Gently toss everything together using tongs to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  5. Toss and finish: Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and coat the noodles and vegetables thoroughly. Transfer to serving bowls and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Use wide LoMein noodles for best texture, but spaghetti or udon noodles are acceptable substitutes.
  • Mirin adds a signature sweetness to the sauce; if unavailable, substitute with rice vinegar plus a pinch of sugar.
  • Dark soy sauce provides depth and rich color; regular soy sauce with a touch of molasses can be used in a pinch.
  • Stir-fry the pork until fully browned for maximum flavor and texture.
  • Rinsing noodles after boiling prevents clumping and stops them from overcooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of broth to refresh the sauce.
  • For gluten-free adaptation, use gluten-free soy sauce and substitute rice or shirataki noodles.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms for extra nutrients and flavors.
  • Sriracha is optional but adds a pleasant heat; adjust to taste.
