Recipe video above. A great quick beef ramen noodle recipe that requires very little prep, and it's a handy one-pan recipe (no need to boil the noodles separately!). It's a great noodle stir fry that's family friendly - everybody loves the sweet-savoury flavour of the sauce!The flavour-trick here is to caramelise the beef well, it makes all the difference, so don't shortcut it. Next time: try the Chicken and vegetable and Mushroom versions!
