Asian Beef and Noodles

Stir-fry recipes, like Asian Beef and Noodles translate to one-dish family fare that’s long on flavor, but short on prep time, cost and cleanup.  This light, colorful family favorite takes only five ingredients – all of which you’re likely to have on hand.  Serve this dish with a dash of soy sauce and a side of pineapple slices.  Or try ground turkey instead of beef.   (This is Diabetic Friendly!!)
