Easy Asian Noodles with Steak and Peppers
***I first posted this 8 years ago. The kids have changed a lot, but this is still a favorite summer recipe at our house.Hope you enjoy it. ***
I hope you are having as great of a summer as we are. My five kids and I have been spending lots of time outside enjoying birds and flowers, taking long walks and bike rides, and visiting an outdoor museum nearby that we love (Living History Farms). And then of course there is swimming, reading good books during long afternoon rest times, and playing four-square in cooler evenings.
All of this time spent having great summer fun leaves little time for cooking, but that’s ok. I think that’s just how the summer months should be.
A few nights ago we made this: Easy Asian Noodles with Steak and Peppers. It fit the bill for a perfect summer dish- quick, easy, and delicious. While the steak and peppers grilled, I quickly boiled some spaghetti, and my daughters whisked together the sauce. The end result was colorful, hearty (for all of the growing, constantly starving kids), and bursting with Asian flavors. Yum!
