Notes
- Beef - use lean ground beef or beef minced with less fat content. Adding ground meat with a high-fat percentage can result in greasy fried noodles.
- Broccoli - I love to add tender-stem broccoli, which is also known as broccolini. Feel free the add broccoli head, Chinese broccoli ( Kai Lan ), bok choy, pak choy, mustard leaves, etc.
- Fresh noodles - add fresh egg noodles, lo mein, chow mein noodles or a choice of pre-cooked ready-to-fry noodles.
- Can I use dried noodles? Yes, if you are adding dried noodles, prepare the noodles by the packet instructions and you will need about 150 grams dried noodles for this recipe.
- Servings - This recipe can be served up to 4 people as a light lunch or dinner.
- The nutritional facts are calculated approximately and can be varied by a number of different factors.
