Beef Lo Mein
Advertisement
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Beef
- pinch Salt
- pinch Pepper
- 2 tsp Sesame Seed Oil
- 1/2 Egg
- 3 tbs Starch
- 5 tbs Oil
- 1/4 lb Noodles
- 1/2 cup Onion
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Ginger
- 1 cup Bean Sprouts
- 1 cup Mushrooms
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tbs Oyster Sauce
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
Instructions
- Slice the beef thinly. In a bowl, mix it with the salt, a pinch of pepper, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, the beaten half-egg, the starch, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Let it marinate while you prep everything else.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in the noodles just until submerged and boil hard for about 10 seconds, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop them cooking.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until just cooked, then lift it out and set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok along with the onion, garlic, and ginger. Add the bean sprouts and mushrooms, pour in about a cup of water — just enough to submerge the vegetables — and cook until they soften.
- Return the noodles to the wok, then stir in the oyster sauce, another pinch of pepper, the remaining sesame oil, the sugar, and the soy sauce.
- Add the beef back in, toss everything together over high heat until hot and glossy, and serve.
