Ingredients
Scale
For the Noodle Bowl:
- Lo mein noodles, enough for 4 servings
- 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 the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the ground chicken and sliced green onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha hot sauce if using. This sauce will bring a savory and tangy flavor to the noodle bowl.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the drained noodles and coleslaw mix into the skillet with the cooked chicken. Pour the sauce over all the ingredients and toss to combine thoroughly. Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the coleslaw mix wilts and the sauce coats every component evenly.
- Serve: Divide the potsticker noodle bowl mixture into individual serving bowls. Garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired and serve warm for a delicious, comforting meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or pork if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to your preferred spice level or omit it for a milder flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles.
- Adding chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or basil can add extra freshness.
- Make sure not to overcook the noodles when boiling to maintain their texture in the dish.
