Ingredients

8 oz wide Lo Mein noodles, cooked and rinsed
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 pound ground beef
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 wide Lo Mein noodles according to package instructions, then rinse them under cold water and set aside.
Step 2: Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and 1/4 cup of sliced green onions, and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, mirin, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha to create the sauce.
Step 4: Add the cooked noodles, coleslaw mix, and sauce to the skillet with the beef. 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

Substitute ground chicken or turkey for a leaner protein option.
Add a handful of shredded carrots or snap peas for extra crunch and color.
If you prefer more heat, increase the sriracha to taste or add a splash of chili garlic sauce.
For a vegetarian version, replace beef with cubed tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Storage

Store leftover noodle bowl in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or microwave until warmed through, adding a splash of broth if needed to maintain moisture.
