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.
-
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.

Reviews from our home cooks
This Lo Mein was so good! Very flavorful, I'm not about spicy so we cut the heat in half and the flavor was perfect. It still had a bit of a bite to it but it was full of great flavor.
This was a really good, tasty, easily prepared, quick dish. I added a dash of Cajun seasoning which really brought the flavors out.
Very delicious. I added more peanuts and only half the sriracha. The flavor was wonderful.
Very delicious. Left out the sriracha as we don't care for the flavor of it. Still good without.
Your instructions often say to cook pork until it is "browned and cooked through," even when that is only the first cooking step for the pork. Often that pork is subject to additional cooking in later steps, when other ingredients are added. To me, "browned and cooked through" means cooked all the way to being done. So the later cooking steps render the pork overdone, dry, and tough. This is a problem with many of your pork recipes. In the future, I'll reinterpret your instructions and cook the pork in the first step only until the pink is no longer visible, so that it will not become "cooked through" until the end. But I think you should come up with a different way of expressing the first step for cooking pork.
There was not enough of the cabbage mix. Once you heated everything up, you didn't even realize there was any cabbage in it. I would suggest adding the cabbage look very last minute before you serve.
Delicious! Mine didn't look anything like the photo on the card, but it sure had a lot of flavor. PLEASE put these on the menu again. My family is asking that I please order this.
Husband gave mad kudos for this one! Said it tasted like it came from a restaurant!
We don't usually do noodles. Leftovers ended up a little dry had to add more sauce (noodles soaked up the liquid). But I would get it again in a bit.
The portions were a little small compared to other meals we've gotten.
