Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips, approximately 2 inches long.
  3. Shred the carrot and celery into thin matchsticks.
  4. In a bowl, combine the sliced steak, minced ginger, minced scallion, cornstarch, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce. Mix well and set aside to marinate.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce and the salt. Set aside.
  6. Heat peanut oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat.
  7. Add the marinated steak mixture to the hot pan. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the beef is cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  8. In the same pan, add the shredded carrots and celery. Add 1/4 cup of water, lower the heat, and cover. Cook for 2 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  9. Add the bean sprouts to the pan and stir-fry for a few seconds until just wilted.
  10. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for 2 minutes to heat through.
  11. Pour the reserved soy sauce and salt mixture over the noodles and vegetables. Add the cooked beef back into the pan.
  12. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through. Serve immediately.
