This Beef, Broccoli and Noodle Stir-fry is easy and the perfect dish for creating your own “Takeout Tuesday”. Not being close for Asian Takeout, I just make it at home. I even buy the take out containers for serving. So fun!
My cowboy isn’t as fond of stir fry as I am, so I make it when he may be wanting something I don’t want. Yes, I kind of run a diner, everyone wants something different. I love how easy this recipe is and how quick it is when that happens.
I love all Asian noodles, especially these easy Udon Noodles. You can buy them packaged and ready to use in your recipe. Here’s a link that describes the difference in Soba, Rice, and Udon: .https://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-difference-soba-udon-116505 /.
This Beef Broccoli and Noodle Stir Fry is easy and fun to eat, my kind of recipe! I love Asian food. Ramen, Chinese Dumplings, Pho, Asian Lettuce Wraps, Spring Rolls, just to name a few.
This stir fry literally took me about 15 minutes! Get your ingredients ready as with all stir fry dishes, and you will have lunch or dinner in minutes! It’s pretty healthy too and an easy way to get your veggies with the broccoli, onions, and peppers. Oh, and you can practice your chopstick skills!! HaHa! A skill I need a lot of practice in, but I’m getting better.
So Easy – Beef, Broccoli & Noodle Stir Fry
This recipe is versatile. I used ground beef, but you can substitute ground pork or even a spicy sausage. You could add more vegetables, spinach would work also. The addition of Sriracha or Sambal Oelek gets it just right. I love spicy, and the addition of the brown sugar in the sauce makes this sweet and spicy. Yum!
Ok. Here’s this so very easy recipe. Let me know what you think! I believe it will become one of your favorites! Swap out the ingredients and you can use the same recipe over and over! Use all those veggies on hand and customize this recipe to the ingredients you have on hand.
So Easy – Beef, Broccoli & Noodle Stir Fry

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef (you could substitute pork or a spicy sausage)

I used ready to use Udon noodles that come in packaging in the Asian aisle at your grocery store. Heat olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef or ground pork and onion and cook until beef or pork has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble as it cooks; drain excess fat.Stir in bell peppers and broccoli. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in udon noodles and soy sauce mixture until well combined, about 2-3 minutes.Serve immediately, garnished with green onion, if desired.
