Beef and Kale Stir-fried Noodles

written by Emma Tang

It’s been a couple of days since I went grocery shopping and when I searched our fridge to look for ingredients used to cook dinner, I could only find half pound of beef, a third bunch of kale and some garlic and ginger. Since it’s already too late to go grocery shopping, I have decided to go with what’s available at hand.

The idea of making a simple beef and kale stir-fried noodles came to my mind. As it turned out, this is a brilliant idea! 30 minutes later, we are practically inhaling this dish.

 Stir-fried Noodles I used Japanese wheat noodles we have in the pantry today to make this dish but feel free to use other types of noodles such as ramen, spaghetti or lo mein. Just remember to pick noodles that are not overly soft and won’t break easily after cooking.

After the noodles were cooked and cooled down, before adding them into the pan for stir-frying, I mixed them with a tablespoon of dark soy sauce as pre-seasoning. It helps to give the noodles a nice color and base flavor.

The key to making good stir-fried noodles are 1) add enough oil 2) use medium-high or high heat 3) take fast actions and 4) mix mix and mix. If you did all of these four things mentioned above, with fresh ingredients and the right amount of seasonings, the stir-fried noodles are hard to go wrong.

I hope you enjoy making this tasty beef and kale stir-fried noodles at home. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
