Asian Beef Skewers and Lo Mein


Asian Beef Steak Skewers

 1 lb. thin steak, cut into strips about 2 inches long
¼ C rice wine
¼ C soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
6 bamboo skewers


Place meat in a bowl and add rice wine, soy sauce, garlic, cornstarch, and sesame seeds. Combine well and let marinate for 30 minutes. Soak skewers at the same time for 30 minutes as well. Thread meat onto skewers. Grill or broil until done.

 
Lo Mein

1 (10 oz) pkg. chow mien noodles, spaghetti, or angel hair pasta
3 Tbsp chicken broth
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, sliced into 1 ½- 2 inch pieces
1 rib celery, sliced
2 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp soy sauce (optional)

Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, sugar and sesame oil in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.  Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain well and sprinkle with sesame oil so they do not stick together. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. Add garlic, green onions and celery stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Add a small amount of the sauce. Then add pasta and remaining sauce, mixing well. If you want darker noodles add additional soy sauce before serving.
