One-Pan Mongolian Beef Noodles with Broccoli

Recipe from Nagi & Dozer - RecipeTin Eats · original post · full recipe on recipetineats.com

Here's the newest version of the much-loved One Pan Asian Beef Noodles (2019!). The noodles cook right in the sauce - no separate boiling - so they soak up the tasty flavour of the sauce while their starch thickens the sauce so it coats everything beautifully. Today's version uses the sauce from everybody's favourite Mongolian Lamb, plus plenty of broccoli for a complete dinner. No need to fear precision with this recipe - those noodle cakes are indestructible!
