Ingredients
Scale
For the Noodle Bowl:
- Lo mein noodles (quantity as per package, typically 8 oz)
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (substitute for mirin)
- 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce (optional)
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
Instructions
- Boil the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain the noodles well and set them aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil if needed. Add the ground chicken and sliced green onions, cooking and stirring until the chicken is fully cooked and browned, about 5-6 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha if using. Mixing these ingredients creates a flavorful, tangy sauce base for the dish.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked noodles and coleslaw mix to the skillet with the browned chicken. Pour the prepared sauce over all the ingredients. Toss everything together to coat evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the coleslaw wilts slightly and the sauce is absorbed.
- Serve: Divide the noodle mixture into individual bowls and garnish with extra sliced green onions. Serve hot for a delicious and comforting meal.
Notes
- Substitute chicken with ground turkey for a leaner option.
- Use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
- Add extra vegetables like snap peas or bell peppers for more color and nutrition.
- Sriracha is optional, add according to your preferred spice level.
- Ensure noodles are drained well to prevent the dish from becoming soggy.
