SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS

This is a flexible recipe that allows for plenty of substitutions and variations to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs. Here are some amazing ideas:

  • SWAP THE PROTEIN: If you're not a fan of beef or want a leaner option, you can substitute ground beef with ground chicken, pork, or even tofu for a plant-based version. Each of these proteins will absorb the flavors of the sauces beautifully.
  • USE DIFFERENT KIND OF NOODLES: While Chinese egg noodles are recommended, you can also other types of noodles like ramen, udon, soba or even spaghetti if that's what you have on hand.
  • VEGETABLE VARIATIONS: Feel free to switch the vegetables as per your choice. Broccoli, bean sprouts, mushrooms, snow peas, zucchini and spinach are great additions or substitutions.
  • SPICE IT UP: If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding more chili flakes or drizzle sriracha on top before serving.


EXTRA TIPS

Here are a few things to keep in mind when you try this recipe:

  • PREPARE ALL THE INGREDIENTS IN ADVANCE: As with most stir-fries, everything happens really fast once you start cooking. So make sure to prepare all ingredients in advance and are within arm's reach before you start cooking.
  • COOK THE NOODLES UNTIL AL DENTE: Cook the noodles until al dente. If you overcook them they can become too soft and mushy when tossed with the other ingredients.


HOW TO STORE THE LEFTOVERS

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat the leftovers in your microwave or in a pan with some extra water.
