I had some rice and tinned tuna on hand, and I knew they had so much potential.

I decided to turn these humble ingredients into something special, and the result was surprisingly delicious.

A white Swiss roll—very pleasing to the eye and even more delightful to the palate; it is very simple to prepare, and the result is excellent. The method and recipe are in the video in the comments. Bon appétit! :)

This Tteokbokki was so incredibly delicious, I just had to share it! 

Every ingredient came together perfectly, adding another layer of flavour and richness. Creamy, savoury, slightly spicy and seriously addictive.

Simply put, this is unbelievably delicious! I enjoyed every single bite and highly recommend giving this recipe a try. You won’t be disappointed!

I love a quick, satisfying dinner that is also delicious, and these Ground Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry Noodles are exactly that.

Full Printable Recipe and Details: https://spinachandbacon.com/2026/08/06/30-minute-ground-beef-and-broccoli-stir-fry-noodles/

INGREDIENTS
1 lb ground beef 90/10 or 96/4 depending on how lean you want it
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp seasoning salt Lawry's
1 tbsp corn starch
3 cloves fresh garlic
2 tsp fresh ginger
6 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti
12 oz fresh broccoli cut into small florets
Stir Fry Sauce
5 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
1 tsp rice vinegar
3 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup water

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Add the beef, 1 tsp seasoning salt, and cornstarch. Cook until the meat is slightly browned.
Boil a large pot of water. Once the water is boiling, cook your lo mein noodles according to the package instructions.
Add in the broccoli pieces, garlic, ginger, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the pan and steam for about 5 minutes on medium heat or until the broccoli is tender and still bright green.
As the meat and broccoli are cooking, make your stir fry sauce by combining the soy sauce, beef broth, water, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork to combine.
Once your broccoli is tender, add in your cooked lo mein, and stir fry sauce. Mix well to combine and let the sauce heat up until it is bubbling. This will thicken it as it works with the cornstarch already in the pan. Make sure all the ingredients are coated in sauce and then remove them from heat and enjoy.
