thumb_book_cover01The whole family should enjoy this quick, easy meal from Karen Inge’s book: Let’s Eat Right! For Kids.


Approximately 4 serves


400g lean beef strips
1 cup thick teriyaki sauce
125g dried rice noodles
1 tablespoon oil
4 cups chopped vegetables (eg. cabbage, carrots, beans, snow peas, mini corn, red capsicum)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 green onions, sliced diagonally 

  • Pour half the teriyaki over beef and marinate for 15–30 minutes.
  • Heat half the oil in wok or frypan and sauté beef until just cooked.  Remove from pan and wipe with paper towel. 
  • Pour boiling water over noodles and stand 5–8 minutes or until soft.  Drain. 
  • Heat remaining oil and sauté vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add beef, noodles, remaining teriyaki, sesame oil and green onions and toss until heated through.

Serve with:

  • Try a complete Asian theme with a Miso soup for starters and exotic fruit platter for dessert (hold the banana fritters!)


Alternatives:

  • Switch rice noodles with low fat instant noodles or Hokkein noodles 
  • Double the noodle portion for active teens with higher carbohydrate requirements
  • Increase the beef portion if you have anybody with high iron needs in the family
