Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 oz lean ground beef
1 stalk celery or bok choy (sliced)
1/4 cup baby carrots (julienne)
1/4 cup sliced onions
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 tbsp light soy sauce*
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
8 oz spaghetti (dry)
1 tbsp dark soy sauce**
1 tbsp Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tsp dark sesame oil

Steps:

  • *Light soy sauce is not the sodium-reduced soy sauce. It is an actual product. Major major brands of soy sauce closely approximate light soy sauce
  • **Dark soy sauce is available in larger supermarkets and Chinese markets. If you cannot obtain it, a good substitute is 1 tbs regular soy sauce (like La Choy) and 1/2 tsp molasses.
  • Cook spaghetti per package directions to al dente stage. Drain and rinse; set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil.
  • Brown ground beef, breaking up clumps. Add the garlic, light soy sauce, sugar and salt; stir to combine.
  • Add the celery or bok choy, carrots and onions. Stir fry until celery is bright green.
  • Add the cooked and drained spaghetti and the sauce. Toss to coat completely.
  • Turn out on a serving platter.

Our home economists modified Penny Auclair's recipe to use up extra cooked ground beef. "I tried this when I was going to school full-time and wanted something quick, foolproof and delicious," writes the Amesbury, Massachusetts cook. "My family loves it."

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 teaspoons oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pinch pepper
1 cup water
4 teaspoons sherry wine
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 teaspoons cornstarch
8 ounces spaghetti (uncooked) or 8 ounces egg noodles (uncooked)
1 lb lean beef or 1 lb elk meat, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together marinade ingredients; marinate the beef in marinade for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients; set aside.
  • In a large pan, over high heat, bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil; boil the noodles until tender (5-7 minutes).

  • Add salt and mix well.
  • Add the sauce; cook until the cornstarch is clear.
  • Add the noodles and mix well.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For the best flavor and texture, use a ground beef with a fat content of at least 15%.
  • Cook the ground beef properly: To avoid dry, crumbly beef, cook it over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your lo mein the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Lo mein noodles should be cooked al dente, so they are still slightly chewy.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings a lo mein dish together. Use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors.
  • Garnish your lo mein: Before serving, garnish your lo mein with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or green onions. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
