Description

This comforting dish features tender beef meatballs simmered in a savory, slightly sweet sauce made from beef broth and soy sauce. The meatballs are paired with fresh Chinese noodles or vermicelli, which soak up the delicious glaze. The addition of green onions provides a fresh, aromatic crunch that balances the richness of the beef. It is a perfect weeknight meal that comes together quickly, offering a satisfying blend of textures and flavors. Ideal for busy evenings when you want a hearty, home-style dinner that feels special without the fuss. Simple ingredients create a deep, umami-rich experience that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fresh Chinese noodles or dry vermicelli according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the condensed beef broth, water, soy sauce, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef meatballs (if using pre-cooked, brown lightly; if raw, cook until done).
  4. Pour the broth mixture into the skillet with the meatballs. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the meatballs, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to combine with the sauce and meatballs.
  6. Stir in the sliced green onions. Heat through for another minute until fragrant.
  7. Serve immediately while hot.
