Another great addition to our ramen noodle recipe series, Mongolian beef with ramen noodles!! Absolutely delicious and quick to the table. Also when I know my schedule is jam packed for a particular day, (more so than usual). I will do my prep of cutting the vegetables and beef the night before. Because when my gang is hungry, I can feed them in 20 minutes or so. And they love this meal!! Especially paired with the Antoniou Cabernet Sauvignon and exclusive divine fine wine!!!
Furthermore this recipe is so easy to modify to your liking and tastes. So if you are looking to cut back on beef consumption use chicken or shrimp. Often I will substitute the broccoli with finely sliced cabbage or snow peas. I just add them later so they have a light crunch to them, usually the last one minute of cooking. Indeed what you use is entirely up to you.
