Ingredients

2 1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce

2 Tbsp. Cantonese BBQ Pork Rub

2 Tbsp. honey 1 1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil 3 Tbsp. canola oil, divided 4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (about 1/4 cabbage) 4 oz. shiitake or baby bella mushrooms, thinly sliced 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 1 bunch scallions, cut into 2-inch segments and thinly sliced lengthwise 1 lb. fresh lo mein noodles, cooked according to package directions and cooled

1 tsp. Minced Garlic

Directions

Step 1 To make the sauce: in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, Cantonese BBQ Pork Rub, honey, and sesame oil. Mix well and reserve.

Step 2 To stir-fry the vegetables: in a wok or cast iron pan over high heat, heat 2 Tbsp. canola oil until smoking. Add cabbage, mushrooms, and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring regularly, until lightly charred, about 3 min. Add scallions and cook until lightly wilted, about 1 min. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Step 3 To stir-fry the noodles: to pan, add remaining 1 Tbsp. canola oil and heat over high heat until smoking. Add cooked lo mein noodles and stir-fry, tossing until hot. Add Minced Garlic and reserved vegetables. Cook, tossing, until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 4 To add the sauce and finish: add reserved sauce. Cook, tossing and stirring, until sauce coats noodles, about 2 min. Serve immediately.
