Cheap Chinese

This is my variation of a restraunt favorite. I modified recipes I found online...

BROCCOLI BEEF OVER NOODLES

Three left over frozen broccoli flowerettes [small trees] cut into chunks using the whole thing

one pound of beef cut into strips/cubes [we got a chuck steak for $4]

1 small package of left over duck sauce [about two tablespoons]

2 medium size cloves of garlic diced tiny

Powered ginger [substituted for fresh root]

Left over Merlot wine [about a two count pour]

1/3 cup water

Splash of pick-a-pepper [should have used soy but didn't have any]

1/3 packette of dried peppers from pizza delivery

Sprinkling of white gravy mix to [substitute for flour or cornstarch to thicken]

Splash of peanut oil

3 packages of ramen beef noodles [but use two cups less water]

While cutting up your beef, soak the strips completed in the sauce mixture

*Cook everything but the noodles in a wok or hot skillet in the peanut oil

*if your broccoli is still frozen you can rig a steamer type situation up with a strainer over the pot with the noodles in it...

*When all completed stir together and serve.

Total prep time with unfrozen meat and frozen broccoli about fifteen minutes.
