This beef and glass noodle stir fry recipe is my family's absolute favorite.
I usually sneak in quite a lot of veggies such as peppers, leaks and spinach.
In today's beef and glass noodle stir fry recipe, I only used standard ingredients, so feel free to be creative with what you add!
This noodle recipe is actually inspired by Korean cuisine. You can whip it up in under 15 minutes!! It's no wonder why I have been repeating this stir fry recipe again and again! haha. Kids will love it and it's easy to make it, who can resist trying it?!
If you are vegetarian then the beef can be switched out for tofu.
Enjoy!

<Miwa's tips>
・Make sure to stir periodically to prevent burning.
・The vegetables used in this recipe is very versatile. Mushrooms, peppers, and spinach are also great options.
・Chinese chives and glass noodles are cooked in only one minute. When I cooked my glass noodles, I only had to boil them for one minute. Please do not overcook them otherwise there will be no texture. Follow the package instructions!
