Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Trim scallions. Thinly slice greens; cut whites into ½-inch batons. Gently crush peanuts in their bag.
Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes.
Drain and set aside.
Pat pork* dry with paper towels; thinly slice crosswise into strips. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork in an even layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
Turn off heat. Transfer pork to a plate; wipe out pan.
Swap in chicken* for pork. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Heat another drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, coleslaw mix, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies begin to soften, 1-2 minutes.
Return pork to pan with veggies.
Add sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, ⅓ cup water (⅔ cup for 4 servings), and as much Sriracha as you like; stir to combine.
Add drained noodles and half the peanuts to pan; remove from heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Divide lo mein between shallow bowls. Sprinkle with scallion greens and remaining peanuts. Serve.

This Sweet and Spicy Chicken Lo Mein is absolutely delicious. I'm loving how easy the recipes are to cook.
Super yummy! A lime would have been a great addition as well.
It was okay...actually tasted better the next day after the flavors blended and stuck to the noodles better
Needed more of the vegetables there was barely 1 portion for a 2 portion meal
