3 Stir in coleslaw mix. Serve over noodles.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The fat from the ground beef is just enough to cook the vegetables evenly. That’s why it’s drained off after the vegetables are cooked.

Add an Asian flair with hot cooked rice and a salad of sliced kiwifruit and chunks of fresh pineapple.

I haven't made it yet, but I think I would let the coleslaw mix cook a little. That's probably why it got cold so fast.

I made this recipe for both of my toddlers and myself for lunch and it was great! It's loaded with veggies that they enjoyed. I used soft ramen noodles and my kids loved it. I used garlic and a pinch of salt to season the beef, other than that I followed the recipe and had a great meal!

When I made this the first time the only thing I changed was ommitting the bell pepper. It was good. The second time I made it I used strips of steak that I let simmer in a little butter for about 20 minutes (while I watched TV). I added frozen snow peas and used soy sauce instead of teriyaki sauce. The snow peas with the water chestnuts added a fresh crunch to it.
