Beef and Mushroom Lo Mein

Cooking time:  30 minutes for menu           Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      Use any beef suitable for stir-frying.  Often supermarkets will have it packaged as such.  Or substitute chicken, pork or turkey.  Stir-fries are flexible!  We use flank steak, sliced thinly on the bias.

Beef and Mushroom Lo Mein

Total time: 30 minutes
     One of the tenants of most Asian cuisines is that the food should be attractive: pleasing to the eye as well as the palate.  One way to achieve this is to make certain that your ingredients are colorful; another is to cut the ingredients into varied shapes.  This Lo Mein is as delicious as it is pretty.
