Crispy chow mein noodles form the base, getting extra crunch from toasted almonds and sesame seeds. A savory seasoning blend ties everything together with umami richness.
Make a big batch and store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks. It’s the secret weapon that adds restaurant-quality finish to weeknight meals.
Kitchen Tips
- Toast almonds and sesame seeds separately as they brown at different rates
- Let all toasted ingredients cool completely before mixing to maintain crispness
- Store in an airtight container with a silica packet to prevent moisture
- Add to dishes just before serving to preserve the crunch
- Try it on Asian-style coleslaw, ramen bowls, or even avocado toast
Ingredients
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, gingerroot, peanut butter and pepper; mix until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil.
Add the steak and cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is no longer pink and browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the snow peas, scallions and sesame seeds to the skillet; stir fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Return the beef to the skillet.
Stir in the broth mixture, and cook until the meat and vegetables are hot and the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
Cut open the hot potatoes and top them with the beef-vegetable mixture.
