Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Lo mein noodles
- 12 oz Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 5 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 cups Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot (julienned)
- 3 Green onions
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the beef to the mixture and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from the wok and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir-fry the garlic, ginger, and onion for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cabbage and carrot to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly but remain crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the wok, along with the cooked noodles. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.
Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through and allow the flavors to combine.
Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
