    Ingredients

    Marinade

    • 1 lb flank steak, sliced thin again the grain
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 2 tsp cornstarch

    Lo Mein

    • 8 ounces lo mein noodles
    • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
    • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
    • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
    • 2 tbsp oil, divided
    • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces
    • 2 cups mixed vegetables, red onion, bell pepper and carrots
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tsp ginger, minced
    • sesame seeds for garnish, if desired
    • green onions for garnish, if desired

    Instructions

    • Marinate the beef: In a medium bowl combine the thinly sliced beef, soy sauce, baking soda and cornstarch. Allow the beef to marinate for 15-30 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
    • Cook the noodles: According to package instructions. I like to do a minute or two earlier so they don't get mushy. Drain the noodles then rinse in cold water and set aside.
    • Make the sauce: In a small bowl combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and rice wine vinegar, set aside.
    • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet or wok. Add steak and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
    • Add the remaining tbsp of oil to the same skillet then add in the mixed vegetables. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until they start to get some color on them.
      Add in the garlic and ginger and cook for an additional minute.
    • Add the sauce to the pan along with the cooked steak and noodles.
    • Toss everything together and serve immediately with sesame seeds and green onions for garnish, if desired.
