Ingredients

8 oz lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)

8 oz flank steak (or another cut (see note), sliced 1/4" thick against the grain)

1 tbsp soy sauce (light)

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tbsp garlic (minced)

1 medium carrot (cut into matchsticks)

3 cups broccoli florets

1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional garnish)

2 tbsp soy sauce (see note)

2 tbsp hoisin sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp Asian sesame oil

Method

Prepare the noodles according to the package directions (see note).

Cut flank steak into thin strips, about 2 x 1/4 inch each (5 cm x 1/2 cm).

In a medium bowl, mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch and 1 tbsp of soy sauce.

Toss the beef strips in the soy sauce mixture and marinate for 10 minutes to tenderize (you can skip this step if in a rush).

In a medium bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar and ginger. Reserve.

Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.

When the oil is hot, add the beef strips and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is no longer pink.

Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots and broccoli. Stir fry for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Add lo mein to the beef/vegetable mixture and toss with the reserved lo mein sauce and sesame oil.

Garnish with optional sesame seeds and serve immediately.
