Directions
  1. 1
    Cook spaghetti or noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Toss with a few drops of oil to prevent sticking, then set aside.
  2. 2
    Slice the flank steak (or other chosen meat) very thinly against the grain into 2-inch pieces.
  3. 3
    In a bowl, combine the sliced meat, minced ginger, minced scallion, cornstarch, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce. Mix well and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons of peanut oil.
  5. 5
    Add the marinated meat mixture to the hot wok. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until just cooked through; do not overcook. Remove meat from the wok and set aside.
  6. 6
    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Heat until hot.
  7. 7
    Add the shredded carrots, celery, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  8. 8
    Add the cooked noodles to the wok. Stir well to combine with the vegetables and cook for a few minutes to heat through.
  9. 9
    Return the cooked meat to the wok. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce and salt, if using.
  10. 10
    Stir-fry for another minute to heat everything through and coat evenly. Serve immediately.
