Beaujolais Nouveau Wine
This Beef and Spinach Lo Mein recipe is an easy and quick dish to make with the salty flavors from the hoisin and soy. With this dish, I prefer a chilled light red wine. A Beaujolais Nouveau is a young fresh red wine that is meant to be enjoyed young. Since it’s not complex, offers light fruit flavors and is a little dry, which melds well with this dish!
