Beef Broccoli and Cake Noodles

Thursday was eat at home night.  I decided to make some beef broccoli with cake noodles.  It was the first time making it.  Nothing like a home cooked meal. 




Marinate Beef
Marinate the beef with 2 TBSP shoyu and 1 tsp grated ginger.  Marinate it for 30 minutes.



Saute Broccoli
Saute broccoli in some vegetable oil only for about 1 minute.  Transfer to a bowl and set aside.



Brown Beef and onions
Saute the beef and onions in some oil until browned.



Add gravy mixture, Broccoli, and green onions
Add gravy mixture, broccoli, and green onions.  Cook until sauce thickens.  You might have to turn fire down to low for sauce to thicken.


Boil Noodles
Boil noodles according to package.


Pan Fry Noodles
Pan fry in oil.  Do not mix or stir.  Let noodles cook until crispy, then turn over to cook other side.


Beef Broccoli and Cake Noodles
Once noodles are done serve beef broccoli over hot noodles and ENJOY.



INGREDIENTS:
3/4lb beef sliced thin
1 tsp finely grated ginger
2 TBSP shoyu
2 TBSP vegetable oil

1 medium onion sliced
4 stalks green onion

GRAVY MIXTURE:

Beef broccoli and cake noodles is a popular chinese dish. For the first time it took making this dish, it was fairly simple and fast.  It was also pretty good that there was hardly any left overs. Try it out and let me know how it is.

Overall- the ease of making the dish and taste, this beef broccoli and cake noodle dish  is worth 3 1/2 stars.
