Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves 3-4.
8 oz fresh noodles or dry spaghetti
1 Tbsp peanut or canola oil
1/2 lb ground beef
2 scallions, sliced
1/2 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp chili paste with garlic
1 tsp chopped garlic or garlic paste
2 tsp oyster-flavored sauce
3 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup mung bean sprouts (optional)
Cook fresh noodles or dry spaghetti in a large pot of boiling water, until they are just underdone. Drain and set aside.
Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the oil, then the beef, and cook, stirring and breaking up the beef as you go, until the beef is lightly browned. Add scallions and mushrooms, and continue stir-frying until the mushrooms are starting to brown. Stir in the chili paste, oyster sauce and soy sauce, then add the noodles and stir to combine everything. Top with bean sprouts, and serve hot.
This was a simple and delicious meal. All the ingredients are readily available in most supermarkets in the international foods section. It's a quick, tasty, inexpensive way to satisfy your Chinese food craving.
