Ingredients
Scale
For the Noodle Bowl:
- 8 oz lo mein noodles
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)
- 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: Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and sliced green onions, cooking and stirring frequently until the chicken is fully cooked and browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha hot sauce if using. This sauce combines tangy, salty, and spicy flavors to enhance the dish.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked lo mein noodles and coleslaw mix to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Pour the prepared sauce over all the ingredients. Toss everything gently to coat evenly, cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the coleslaw mix softens slightly and the sauce is well distributed.
- Serve: Divide the noodle bowl evenly among individual serving bowls. Garnish with additional sliced green onions for freshness and extra flavor. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or pork for the chicken if preferred.
- Sriracha is optional; adjust according to your spice preference.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free noodles and soy sauce.
- Fresh ginger adds a bright flavor, but ground ginger can be used in a pinch.
