    From the Test Kitchen

    In this dish, the richness of ground beef is balanced by two additions of bright, citrus flavor: ponzu, the star of the sweet and spicy sauce you'll use to coat lo mein noodles, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice to finish. Crisp snow peas and roasted peanuts add welcome crunch to the dish.

    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the ginger; finely chop to get 1 tablespoon (you may have extra). Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 1 teaspoon. Halve the lime crosswise. Roughly chop the peanuts. In a bowl, combine the lime zest, chopped peanuts, and a drizzle of olive oil; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt if desired. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, ponzu sauce, hoisin sauce, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. If desired, remove the tough strings from the snow peas.

    Cook the beef
    2 Cook the beef

    In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the beef and chopped ginger in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil.

    Cook the noodles
    3 Cook the noodles

    Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking.

    4 Finish the noodles & serve your dish

    To the pan of cooked beef, add the chopped garlic and snow peas. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Add the cooked noodles, sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and the juice of both lime halves. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined and the noodles are thoroughly coated. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished noodles garnished with the lime peanuts and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
