    From the Test Kitchen

    This dish gets its gourmet flair from fresh lo mein noodles, whose delightfully springy texture is perfectly complemented by our sweet and savory sauce and bits of tender beef. A garnish of crunchy cashews tossed with sesame seeds finishes the dish.

    Title
    • 16 oz Plant-Based Ground Beyond Beef ™
    • 1 lb Fresh Lo Mein Noodles (Previously Frozen)
    • 1 Yellow Or Red Onion
    • 15 oz Baby Bok Choy
    • 2 Tbsps Rice Vinegar

    • 3 Tbsps Roasted Cashews

    1 Prepare the ingredients & start the sauce

    Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water. Cover and heat to boiling on high. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Quarter lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; thinly slice, separating the leaves and stems. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Roughly chop the cashews. Place in a bowl. Add the sesame seeds and a drizzle of olive oil; stir to thoroughly coat. In a separate bowl, combine the soy glaze, black bean-chile sauce, vinegar, and 1/4 cup of water.

    2 Cook the vegetables

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced peppers and sliced bok choy stems; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes, or until slightly softened. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

Cook, stirring frequently and breaking apart with a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned and the Beyond Beef™ is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil.

    4 Cook the noodles

    Meanwhile, to the pot of boiling water, add the noodles, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
