Step-by-Step Instructions for Potsticker Noodle Bowl
  1. Prepare Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 8 oz of wide lo mein noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 4 to 6 minutes, until tender yet firm. Once cooked, drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set them aside in a large bowl, ensuring they don’t stick together.
  2. Brown Pork: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb of ground pork and 1/4 cup of sliced green onions. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring gently, until the pork is browned and fragrant. This will create a savory base for your Potsticker Noodle Bowl.
  3. Make Sauce: While the pork is browning, whisk together the sauce in a bowl. Combine 1/2 cup of low-sodium chicken broth, 3 tablespoons of mirin, 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of grated ginger, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Once the pork is browned, pour the prepared sauce over it in the skillet. Add the cooked lo mein noodles and 4 cups of coleslaw mix to the pan. Toss everything together for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to shallow serving dishes. Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions.
