Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz dried wide wheat noodles or egg noodles or 1 lb fresh noodles
  • 1 lb ground pork can substitute chicken or turkey
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cups green cabbage shredded (or coleslaw mix)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 stalks green onions chopped, white and green parts separated
Sauce
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil toasted
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional for heat
Garnish
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds toasted

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large skillet or wok
  • Whisk
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, ginger, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Heat oil in a large deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up into crumbles, until browned and cooked through (about 5-6 minutes).
  4. Add minced garlic and the whites of the green onions to the pork. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage is wilted but still slightly crisp.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture over the pork and cabbage. Stir to combine and let simmer for 1 minute.
  7. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything well to coat the noodles in the sauce. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
  8. Remove from heat. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Notes

For a spicy kick, drizzle with chili oil just before serving. Leftovers store well for up to 3 days.
