Stir-fry recipes, like Asian Beef and Noodles translate to one-dish family fare that's long on flavor, but short on prep time, cost and cleanup. This light, colorful family favorite takes only five ingredients all of which you're likely to have on hand. Serve with a dash of soy sauce and a side of pineapple slices. Or try ground turkey instead of beef.

Asian Beef and Noodles

Total preparation and cooking time: 20 minutes

1 pound ground beef

2 3-ounce packages Oriental ramen noodles, crumbled

2 1/2 cups water

2 cups frozen broccoli stir-fry vegetable blend

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink; drain. Add the contents of one ramen noodle flavoring packet; stir until dissolved. Remove beef and keep warm.

In the same skillet, combine the water, vegetables, ginger, noodles and contents of remaining flavoring packet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Return beef to the pan; cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Stir in onion.

Makes 4 servings.
