This recipe brings me back to all those family potlucks and BBQs. I loved ramen noodle slaw as a kid. Frankly, if any dish had ramen noodles attached to it I was in – heck, I’m still attached. This lifelong interest inspired this recipe reboot. Instead of just the casual ramen noodle slaw side dish, this recipe turns it into a complete meal. Ground pork is heartily seasoned with garlic, shallots, and sambal chili paste. The pork is cooked and crumbled over the slaw, adding meaty depth. The slaw component is a classic combination of pre-made broccoli slaw mix, chopped sugar snap peas, scallions, and sliced almonds tossed with a tangy-sweet sesame dressing.

1) In a medium bowl, place 1 lb ground pork, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 minced shallots, and 2 tsp of sambal.
