Oyster Sauce Beef & Tenderstem^® broccoli Chow Mein

Noodles symbolize longevity at Chinese New Year so this is the perfect dish. Traditional oysters are also eaten at Chinese New Year because they symbolize prosperity – a highly prized seafood so the “oyster sauce” makes a great symbolic addition here.

For those wanting to cut down on carbs, use courgetti instead of egg noodles.

Substitute Baked Firm tofu instead of the beef if you prefer a meat-free option. Or you can read our blog to discover more ideas for what to serve with steak.
