Chap Chee Noodles

I found this yummy recipe that I thought I'd share. The recipe calls for cellophane noodles, but I have no idea what those are or where to get them, so I made it with Bean Threads...I wouldn't recommend it. The flavor was so delish though that I'm definitely making it again. I think it would be great over steamed rice. So, next time, I'm going to omit the noodles all together.

Chap Chee Noodles (or rice!)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp black pepper
~Combine ingredients in a bowl for a marinade

1/3 lbs beef top sirloin thinly sliced
~Add to marinade and let sit for 15-30 minutes. I used just thinly sliced cheap steak cuts instead of top sirloin and it was fine.

Cook meat in about 2 Tbsp veg oil and add:
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
1/2 cup sliced bamboo shoots, drained
1/4 lbs napa cabbage thinly sliced
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
~cook until veggies are softened then add:

3 oz cellophane noodles, soaked in warm water
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
~cook until heated through

Just Another Side Dish?

Okay, so we have all made baked potatoes, nothing fancy here, but these just looked so delicious that I had to take a picture. Yum!


Add some butter, slt/ppr, a drizzle of ranch dressing, shredded cheese, bacon, green onion and some sort of green veggie and you have a super delicious dinner.
