Notes

✔ Use the right noodles – Lo mein noodles have a chewy texture that holds sauce well. Substitute with spaghetti or egg noodles if needed.
✔ Slice the beef thinly – Cutting the beef against the grain ensures tenderness.
✔ Marinate the beef – A quick marinade with soy sauce and cornstarch makes the beef flavorful and tender.
✔ Stir-fry over high heat – Cooking at high heat prevents sogginess and locks in flavors.
✔ Don’t overcook the vegetables – Keep them crisp and vibrant for the best texture.
✔ Make it ahead – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months.
