1 pound lean boneless top round steak, trimmed
Vegetable cooking spray
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup diagonally sliced carrots
1 medium onion, sliced into rings
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup diagonally sliced celery
15 fresh snow pea pods, trimmed
1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 teaspoon beef-flavored bouillon granules
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
4 ounces thin spaghetti (cooked without salt or fat)

Partially freeze top round steak; slice diagonally across grain into 1/4 inch strips. Set steak aside.

Coat a wok or heavy skillet with cooking spray; heat to medium-high (325F) for 2 minutes. Add meat, and stir-fry 5 minutes. Push meat to sides of wok; add cabbage and next 7 ingredients. Stir-fry about 3 minutes. Stir meat into vegetables.

Combine bouillon granules, water, and soy sauce; stir into meat mixture. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Add spaghetti; toss gently, and cook until thoroughly heated.
