22.0. "Beef & Zucchini Stir Fry" by SUNFUN::RHAYNES () Fri Aug 17 1984 11:17

I made this for dinner for some friends last evening.  It got such
rave reviews, I though I'd post the recipe. 

	BEEF & ZUCCHINI STIR FRY
					Feeds 4 very hungry adults.   

3 med onions (or 2 large)		10 oz (dry) noodles
3 or 4 cloves garlic			grated Parmesan cheese
2 thin slices gingerroot
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
3/4 lbs zucchini
2 medium tomatoes
1/2 lb mushrooms
1/4 cup soy sauce
peanut oil

Cut each onion in quarters from root to stem.  Then slice about 1/4-inch 
 thick. 
Peel and slice the garlic.  
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds.  
Cut the tomatoes into bite-size chunks.  
Slice the mushrooms.  

Heat wok until very hot.  [While the wok is getting good and hot, put
up the water to cook the noodles.]  Add a few tablespoons of oil to
the hot wok.  Immediately add the onions and stir fry until they are
kind of soft and semi-transparent. Remove onions to a heated dish. 

Again heat wok until very hot.  Add another tablespoon of oil, then
add the garlic and gingerroot.  Stir fry until the garlic starts to
turn brown.  Add the ground beef.  Stir fry until the meat is no
longer pink. 

[Add the noodles to the boiling water.]  At this point I take a meat
baster and remove the fat (from the meat) from the wok. 

Now add all of the other ingredients (including the onions); stir
well; then cover the wok and turn down the heat. 

When the noodles are done, turn off the fire under the wok. Drain the
noodles and rinse according the package directions. 

For each serving put some noodles on a plate add the beef and zucchini
mixture, then top with grated Parmesan cheese. 

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

22.1Tried it and loved it!TLE::RICHARDSONFri Dec 11 1987 14:3713
    This is a wonderful (and EASY) recipe!  At first, when I read the
    recipe, I really wondered about the Parmesan cheese--it seemed
    odd to put it on such an oriental-sounding dish.  But I used it,
    and it was great.
    
    As I usually do, I cut down on fat and calories by using much less
    oil than called for, and by using extra lean ground beef.  For
    noodles, I chose ramen noodles (they come in those cheap little
    individual packages), which are super-fast to cook and pre-weighed.
