Aunt Helen's Beef or Chicken Broccoli Lo Mein Recipe

Michael requested this recipe.
This makes 8-12 servings.

16 oz. thin spaghetti; broken in half
2 tsp. dark sesame oil
2 T. veg. oil
6 cup chopped broccoli
3 cups chopped onions
2 T. minced fresh ginger
8 cloves garlic, minced
Beef (venison) or chicken pieces, sliced thin crossways-as much as you want.
 1-2 pounds would be my guess.

6 T. beef or chicken broth
6 T. soy sauce
4 T. brown sugar
2 T. oyster sauce

Cook pasta; drain well. Return to pan, toss with sesame oil.
Or you could put this in a big bowl.
Heat another pan and stir-fry broccoli and onion in hot oil for 3 minutes.
Add ginger and garlic; continue cooking 30 seconds.
Add meat. Cook 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix the broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, and oyster sauce.
Add sauce and pasta to the skillet or wok that holds the meat.
Continue cooking all ingredients together,
stirring often 1-2 minutes or until heated through.

You could also use rice instead of pasta and snow peas and carrots instead of broccoli.
Philip likes it better without the ginger.
You could also throw in some cashews when you are doing the final heat-through.
