recipesbynani.comDragon Noodles have been a staple in my kitchen for years. It is the perfect blend of savory ground pork, crunchy cashews, and tender broccoli tossed in a bold sauce that hits all the right notes.
My favorite thing about this dish is how fast it comes together after a long day. If you like extra heat, feel free to add a bit more chili sauce or some red pepper flakes before serving.
