Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz lo mein noodles
- 8 oz ground pork or chicken
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 3 green onions, sliced (divided)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp crushed peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork or chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the sesame oil. Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Add this mixture to the skillet and stir.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In another small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens.
Return the cooked ground meat to the skillet and mix well with the sauce.
Add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve the noodles hot, garnished with the remaining green onion slices and crushed peanuts, if desired.
