Asparagus Beef Lo Mein
This flavorful stir-fry is easy and relatively inexpensive. It's served over ramen noodles, which is a nice change from rice we usually have. To simplify preparation, I use store-bought garlic infused olive oil instead of minced garlic and olive oil.4 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 20 min.
