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 peanuts tossed with furikake finishes the dish.

1 Prepare the ingredients & start the sauce

Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with 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. If desired, remove the tough strings from the snow peas. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Roughly chop the peanuts. Place in a bowl. Add the furikake and a drizzle of olive oil; stir to thoroughly coat. In a separate bowl, combine the soy glaze, black bean-chile sauce, vinegar, 1/4 cup of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.
