How to Make Ground Beef Lo Mein
1. Cook the Noodles
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package directions until they’re just tender. Avoid overcooking them because they’ll spend a little more time in the skillet later.
Drain well and toss with the sesame oil to help prevent sticking.
Set them aside.

Give the sauce a taste.
If you prefer sweeter noodles, add a touch more brown sugar. For more heat, increase the red pepper flakes.
