Ingredients
*ingredients purchased at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound beef top round steak, thinly sliced*
6 ounces uncooked spaghetti
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained

1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach, coarsely chopped*

Directions
In a small bowl, mix the first 6 ingredients together. Remove 1/4 cup of the mixture and place it into a large bowl; add the sliced beef and toss to coat. Let the beef marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1-1/2 teaspoons of canola oil. Add half of the beef mixture; stir-fry 1-2 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove the cooked beef from the pan. Repeat with an additional 1-1/2 teaspoons oil and the remaining beef mixture.
Stir-fry the water chestnuts, sliced peppers and green onions in the remaining canola oil for 30 seconds. Stir in the chopped spinach and the remaining hoisin mixture; cook until the spinach is wilted. Return the beef to the pan and heat through.
Drain the spaghetti and add it to the seasoned, cooked beef and vegetables and toss to combine. Sprinkle with chili pepper and serve.
Optional: Add additional vegetables like broccoli*, celery*, beans* and other favorites to the mix.
