From the Test Kitchen

For incredible depth of flavor in this dish, we’re cooking ground pork alongside colorful cabbage, garlic, and savory shiitake mushrooms before tossing them together with delightfully springy lo mein noodles. To give it all a bright, spicy kick of flavor, we’re mixing up a sauce that highlights yellow curry paste, soy sauce, and more.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Place the mushrooms in a medium bowl. Add 1 cup of hot water. Set aside to rehydrate at least 10 minutes. Wash and dry the cabbage; cut out and discard the core, then thinly slice the leaves. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop the peanuts. In a bowl, whisk together the curry paste, sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar.

2 Start the pork

Reserving 1/4 cup of the mushroom water, drain the rehydrated mushrooms. Transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop. In a medium pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pork. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned.

3 Cook the vegetables & pork

Add the sliced cabbage, chopped garlic, and chopped mushrooms to the pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the pork is cooked through. Turn off the heat.

4 Cook the noodles

Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking.

5 Finish the noodles & serve your dish

To the pan of cooked vegetables and pork, add the cooked noodles, sauce, and reserved mushroom water. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and coated. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles garnished with the chopped peanuts. Enjoy!
