Beef Lo Mein

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
2. Cook lo mein noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
3. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add snow peas, carrots, bean sprouts, red bell pepper, and cabbage. Cook until vegetables are tender and beef is fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes.
5. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients evenly.
6. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until fully combined and heated through.
7. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
