Ingredients
Scale
Noodles and Vegetables
- 8 ounces wide LoMein noodles, cooked and rinsed according to package instructions
- 4 cups bagged coleslaw mix (shredded green cabbage, shredded red cabbage, and shredded carrots)
- ¼ cup sliced green onions (cooked with the pork)
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (for garnish)
Meat and Oils
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil if there is an allergy issue)
- 1 pound ground pork
Sauce
- 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 according to desired heat level)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Boil, drain, and rinse the LoMein noodles according to the package directions. Set them aside while preparing the rest of the dish.
- Cook the Pork: Heat the peanut oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground pork and ¼ cup sliced green onions. Cook and brown the pork for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the pork cooks, whisk together the low-sodium chicken broth, Mirin sweet cooking rice wine, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and optional sriracha in a small mixing bowl. Set aside the sauce mixture.
- Add Noodles, Vegetables, and Sauce: When the pork is fully cooked, add the cooked LoMein noodles, coleslaw mix, and the sauce mixture to the skillet.
- Toss and Cook: Using tongs, gently toss all ingredients together in the skillet. Allow the dish to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid reduces slightly and the noodles and pork are fully coated with the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the potsticker noodle bowl to a large serving bowl and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the sriracha quantity based on your preferred spice level or omit for a milder flavor.
- Substitute ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a leaner option.
- Mirin can be substituted with a mix of rice vinegar and sugar if unavailable.
- Use vegetable oil if peanut allergies are a concern.
- For added crunch, garnish with toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts.
