Ingredients

6 ounce Fresh chinese noodles OR
4 ounce Dry vermicelli
1/2 cup Condensed beef broth
1/3 cup Water
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
2 Green Onion, with 2" tops

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).

Pour the broth mixture into the skillet with the meatballs. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the meatballs, about 2-3 minutes.
