    From the Test Kitchen

    In this dish, we’re highlighting fresh, chewy lo mein noodles by tossing them with a sauce of hoisin, soy glaze, gochujang, and more that perfectly complements the richness of the pork. It’s all stirred together with bites of tender sautéed spinach and carrots for satisfying crunch.

    Pork Lo Mein

    Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

    Fill a medium pot (or large for 4 servings) 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic (or 4 cloves for 4 servings). In a bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy glaze, sesame oil, vinegar, 1/2 cup of water (or 1 cup for 4 servings), and as much of the gochujang as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

    2 Cook the noodles

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

    3 Cook the pork & carrots

    Meanwhile, in a large nonstick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pork. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil. Add the sliced carrots and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the carrots are softened and the pork is cooked through. Turn off the heat.

    4 Finish the noodles & serve your dish

    To the pot of cooked noodles, add the cooked pork and carrots, spinach, and sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the noodles are coated. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles garnished with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
