H4: Fresh Broccoli

You will need about 2 cups of fresh broccoli florets. Choose bright green florets that are firm to the touch. The crunchiness and color of broccoli add not only visual appeal but also nutrients like vitamin C and fiber to your dish.

H4: Beef

For this recipe, use 1 pound of flank steak or sirloin that you slice thinly against the grain. Thin cuts ensure tenderness when cooking. Marinating the beef adds flavor depth that enhances the overall taste of the dish.

H4: Lo Mein Noodles

Use 8 ounces of lo mein noodles or egg noodles for this recipe. Cook them according to package instructions until al dente. These noodles soak up the sauce beautifully while providing a satisfying texture in every bite.

H4: Soy Sauce

Incorporate ¼ cup of soy sauce into your dish. Opt for low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer less saltiness. This ingredient serves as a key flavor base in Chinese cuisine and brings authenticity to your lo mein.

H4: Garlic

You will need 3 cloves of minced garlic. Fresh garlic adds an aromatic flavor that elevates your dish. Be careful not to burn it while sautéing; burnt garlic can turn bitter.

H4: Ginger

Add 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger for an extra zing. Ginger brings warmth and spice that balances out the other flavors in the dish beautifully.

H4: Vegetable Oil

Use 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for cooking. This oil has a high smoke point, making it ideal for stir-frying at high heat without burning.

H4: Cornstarch

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water as a thickening agent for your sauce. This helps achieve a glossy finish that clings well to all ingredients in your lo mein.
