Beef chow mein is the perfect quick meal for a busy day. It is a great dish for using whatever vegetables you have leftover in the fridge. I wanted to use up cabbage and carrots in my fridge so that is what I added but feel free to substitute with your favorite vegetables.
Beef Chow Mein

1 package dried chow mein noodles
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
1 lb beef flank steak, sirloin etc, sliced
3 Tablespoons soy sauce

½ cup carrots, shredded
Vegetable or canola oil
3 Tablespoons oyster sauce

Directions
Bring salted water to boil and cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and coat with 1 Tablespoon with sesame oil to prevent noodles from sticking and set aside.
Cut beef into thin strips. In a bowl mix together soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, sugar, and cornstarch. Add steak and marinate while you cut and prep your ingredients.
Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan. Stir fry beef until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
