A savory stir-fry inspired by Chinese cuisine, this complete meal is easy to make and offers cost-effective options. While the recipe uses ground beef, one could easily use sliced flank steak instead. The noodles can be almost any type of long, thin pasta including udon, spaghetti, linguine, egg noodles, or ramen. Simply prepare your desired noodle, and you are ready to go. If you prefer to avoid pasta, this stir-fry goes well over white rice too.
