This ground beef lo mein recipe is a delicious, budget-friendly, stir-fry dinner with ground beef and vegetables cooked in an Asian-flavored sauce.

Ingredients

6 ounces spaghetti
1 pound lean ground beef
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, cored and sliced vertically
1 sweet onion, peeled and sliced vertically
1 cup snow peas
1 stalk celery, sliced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, but still a little chunky, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3 Whisk hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, sherry, sesame oil, cornstarch, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
4 Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add red bell pepper, onion, snow peas, celery, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Return ground beef to the skillet and mix well.
5 Drain spaghetti and add to the skillet with sauce. Cook and stir until mixture is well combined and sauce has slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately and garnish with sliced green onions.
