Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground beef
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces dried wide lo mein noodles
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 cups snow peas, trimmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler; line a baking sheet with foil.

Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and broil, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Whisk 1/3 cup water, the oyster sauce, sesame oil, remaining 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a liquid measuring cup.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Stir-fry until the snow peas are bright green, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the noodles and toss. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss until mostly absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.
