Ground Beef Lo Mein

Recipe View Prepare the Noodles: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions, until al dente (about 12 minutes). Drain well.

Recipe View Brown the Beef: While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and slightly chunky (about 5 minutes). Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pan.

Recipe View Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, dry sherry, sesame oil, cornstarch, and brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.

Recipe View Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red bell pepper, onion, snow peas, and celery. Stir-fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.

Recipe View Combine and Simmer: Return the browned ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

Recipe View Toss and Serve: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce and beef mixture. Toss gently until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions.
