  • 1cupsliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1largered onion, cut into 2 inch strips
  • 3cupscabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1tangerine, sectioned and seeded

  • Directions

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse, and set aside.

    Whisk together the hoisin sauce, sherry, tangerine zest, and ground ginger in a small bowl.

    Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add one half of the beef slices to the pan; cook, stirring constantly, until the meat is nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove meat to a platter with a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining beef.

    Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the pan. Stir in the butternut squash, mushrooms, and onion. Cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly brown on the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cabbage, and cook and stir until slightly wilted, about 2 additional minutes.

    Reduce the heat to medium. Stir the cooked beef, tangerine sections, and hoisin mixture into the vegetables. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve over Chinese noodles.



    Cook's Notes

    If desired, garnish with flaked, unsweetened coconut and additional tangerine sections.

    Beef broth can be substituted for the sherry.
