Ingreadient

• 10 ounces brown rice noodles ((ramen or lo mein), reserve 1/2 cup noodle water)
• 2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 pound ground pork
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (peeled and minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup noodle water (reserved)
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 8 ounces coleslaw mix (can sub thinly sliced cabbage or other veggies of choice)
• handful roasted peanuts (chopped)
• handful green onions (chopped)

Step by step

1. Boil the noodles according to package instructions. When it's time to drain, set aside 1/2 cup of the noodle water to use in the sauce.
2. Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook while occasionally breaking up with a spatula until brown and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. You can drain some of the oil out at this point or leave it in for a richer flavor.
3. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red pepper and cook for another minute. Push the meat over to the side and whisk in the noodle water, soy sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, and honey until smooth.
4. Briefly bring sauce to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the noodles and slaw (or cabbage).
5. Garnish with peanuts and green onions and serve.
