How to make Beef Stir-Fry Noodles
Tips from the cook
- Prep everything before you start: once the pan is hot it all goes fast.
- Cut the vegetables to cook in the same time: thin carrot matchsticks, small cabbage pieces, medium pepper slices.
- Cook the noodles only to al dente; they soften more when tossed in the pan.
- Udon, lo mein, yakisoba or soba noodles also work. Chicken or tofu can replace the beef.
