The noodles are light brown with a glossy texture, twisted and layered thickly inside the bowl. The ground meat is evenly scattered throughout, cooked to a golden brown color. Bits of orange carrot and white cabbage mix with the noodles and meat, with small bright green onion pieces sprinkled on top. A pair of wooden chopsticks rests on the right edge of the bowl. The bowl sits on a black and white checkered cloth placed on a white marbled surface, with a silver fork nearby and some green onion parts scattered around. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces wide LoMein Noodles, cooked and rinsed according to package instructions
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil for allergy concerns)
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions, cooked with the pork
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions, for garnish
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons Mirin sweet cooking rice wine
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon sriracha hot sauce (optional, adjust to desired heat)
  • 4 cups bagged coleslaw mix (shredded green cabbage, shredded red cabbage, and shredded carrots)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Boil, drain, and rinse the LoMein noodles according to the package directions. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat the peanut oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and ¼ cup sliced green onions, cooking until the pork is browned and no pink remains, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Step 3: While the pork cooks, whisk together chicken broth, Mirin rice wine, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha in a small bowl to make the sauce. Set aside.
  4. Step 4: Once the pork is cooked, add the cooked noodles, coleslaw mix, and sauce mixture to the skillet.
  5. Step 5: Gently toss all ingredients with tongs and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and coat the noodles and pork evenly.
  6. Step 6: Transfer to a large serving bowl and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons sliced green onions before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • Substitute ground chicken or turkey for pork to lighten the dish.
  • Add a handful of chopped snap peas or bell peppers for extra crunch and color.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Adjust the sriracha amount to control the heat level or omit it for a milder flavor.

Storage

Store leftover noodle bowl in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. Adding a splash of water or broth while reheating can help maintain moisture.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Yes, you can replace ground pork with firm tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian version.

What type of noodles works best for this dish?

Wide LoMein noodles are ideal as they hold the sauce well, but you can also use other Asian-style wheat noodles or even rice noodles if preferred.
