Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground pork
- Pinch of white or black pepper
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon low sodium gluten-free Tamari
- 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth or water
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- Pinch of red chili pepper flakes (optional)
- 8 oz stir fry rice noodles
- 14 oz bag coleslaw mix
- 1 bunch green onions
- 4 cloves garlic (pressed or minced)
Instructions
- Prepare the pork: In a mixing bowl, add the ground pork, a pinch of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Tamari. Mix until just combined and set aside.
- Create the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup Tamari, chicken broth (or water), rice vinegar, ginger paste, sesame oil, and red chili pepper flakes until well combined. Set aside.
- Cook the noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions (approximately 4-6 minutes until al dente). Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Sauté the pork: Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the pork mixture and break it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks until browned evenly.
- Add the vegetables: Introduce the coleslaw mix and the white and light green parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Incorporate the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for 1 more minute.
- Combine everything: Add the drained noodles to the wok along with the sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until well combined and noodles are tender.
- Let it cool: Allow the dish to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a leaner option, swap ground pork for ground chicken or turkey. For a vegan version, substitute with tofu or tempeh.
