Instructions

1. SAUCE: In a small bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Thinly slice the green onions and separate the white bottom half of the onions from the green top half.
2. PORK: Drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once oil is hot, add in pork. Let the pork sear (brown) a few minutes before crumbling with a wooden spoon to brown all the way through. Once browned, reduce heat to low. (If there is more than 1 tbsp grease, drain off excess.) Use a spatula to scrape every bit of sauce on top of the pork. Add in coarsely chopped cashews. Stir constantly, allowing pork and cashews to simmer until sauce is reduced in half, about 3-5 minutes. Add the bottom half of the onions to pork and sauté for 1 minute.
3. NOODLES AND BROCCOLI: Meanwhile, water should be boiling at this point. Do not salt the water. Add lo mein noodles and stir. Boil according to package directions, adding in the coarsely chopped broccoli 2 minutes before draining. Drain in a colander and promptly toss in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame or vegetable oil to keep noodles from sticking.
4. COMBINE: Once the sauce has reduced and noodles and broccoli are drained, add the noodles and broccoli to the skillet. Use tongs to gently toss until everything is coated in the sauce and well combined. Top dish with the top half of the thinly sliced green onions and another small drizzle of sesame oil if desired. Enjoy promptly!
