How I lightened up Beef Lo Mein:
The first thing I did was omitted the oil, so I used a nonstick skillet. That saved a lot of points!
Using a lean or extra lean cut of beef can also save points. You can choose from:
-Eye of round roast or steak
-Sirloin tip side steak
-Top round roast and steak
-Bottom round roast and steak
-Top sirloin steak
Be sure to trim any fat off the steak and drain the grease.
Everything I needed for this recipe I found in the regular grocery store. Fresh vegetables and beef, then everything else was in the Asian aisle.
I used Thai rice noodles for this recipe. Any long noodle will work, even regular spaghetti noodles.
How to make Beef Lo Mein:
Boil a pot of water and cook the noodles according to the directions on the box.
Trim any fat off of the beef then cut into 1/4-inch slices against the grain.
Add the beef to a large nonstick skillet and cook until no longer pink, then drain the grease.
Pour the beef onto a plate and cover with foil.
In a small bowl add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Whisk together.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and red pepper to the skillet. Add 1/4 cup of water and cover the pan. The water will help to steam the vegetables.
Let the vegetables cook 5-7 minutes.
Next, add the water chestnuts, green onions, and sauce.
Add the noodles and beef. Use tongs to mix everything together. Let it cook on medium heat for 3 minutes.
