Preparation

Step 1

Directions

* In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, water, sesame oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour 1/4 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 10 minutes. Set remaining marinade aside.
* Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet or wok, stir-fry beef in 3 teaspoons canola oil in batches for 1-2 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
* Drain spaghetti and set aside. In the skillet or wok, stir-fry water chestnuts and onions in remaining oil until onions are tender. Stir in the spinach, spaghetti and reserved marinade. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until spinach is wilted.
* Return beef to the pan; heat through. Garnish with chili pepper. Yield: 5 servings.
