A classic Chinese takeout favorite made at home with tender beef, crisp vegetables, and savory noodles in a rich soy-based sauce.

Ingredients

• 8 oz dried chow mein noodles or spaghetti
• 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 3 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 cup beef broth

Instructions

1. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
2. In a bowl, toss beef slices with 1 tbsp soy sauce and cornstarch. Let marinate 10 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and beef broth. Set aside.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
5. Add cabbage, bean sprouts, and bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry 2 minutes until slightly wilted. Add garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds.

7. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

Tips

• For best results, use a wok over high heat to achieve the smoky 'wok hei' flavor.
• Substitute chicken or pork for beef if desired.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
