ReplyDeleteOh, your table is amazing as always! I love your tablecloths and Fiesta Ware. Now you recipe looks delish but you're not going to mess up those pretty dishes are you? OH, know! :)

I will have to try that! My teenagers love this kind of food.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to brown the noodles! I love beef and broccoli. Your Fiesta is a delight. Because of the infinite combinations, I daresay the dishes are more flexible than basic white. The tablecloth is true to the period and so much fun. Can't wait to see what you put together next week!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! Your table display reminds me to go and find some dishes for my kitchen..They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is beautiful! I love those beaded napkin rings. The broccoli and beef looks scrumptious, too.

Candy-We love stir fry. I have never done the noodles this way, but I am going to give it a try! Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful color combination on your table! The dinner looks delicious, is there any left for me?:)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your generous comments!
ReplyDeleteThe fried noodle trick was one our favorite dive in San Francisco's Chinatown tought us. This was the kind of place that had live eels in a bucket as you walked in the door...eewwwww. But the food was great and this is a trick I've never forgotten. Gives as extra texture thing with the crunchy outside of the noodles, but they are still moist and soft on the inside. Yummmm.
Sheila, of course we got the dishes dirty. These things wear like iron and go in and out of the dishwasher everyday as they have for almost 25 years! White and turquoise were two of the colors that were re-issued early on when production started up again in 1986....and Sapphire was a limited color that's been discontinued for at least 10 years. They are the best dishes ..... I still had teenagers at home when these first came to live with me!
I LOVE!!! this AWESOME!!! recipe. My family is going to ENJOY!!! this.
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE!!! your GREAT!!! combination of colors on your table.
