Preparation
Boil the noodles
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 2 to 4 min., until al dente.
- Drain and rinse.
- Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise on an angle.
- Thinly slice the celery crosswise on an angle.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise.
Start the lo mein
- In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the beef; season with the spices. Cook, breaking up the meat, 2 to 3 min., until partially browned.
- Add the green beans, celery and ¼ cup water. Cook, stirring often, 4 to 6 min., until the vegetables begin to soften and the beef* is cooked through.
Finish the lo mein
- To the pan, add the teriyaki glaze and ½ cup water.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until combined.
- If the sauce seems dry, add up to ½ cup water; season with black pepper.
Plate your dish
- Divide the lo mein between your bowls.
- Garnish with the scallions. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
