Easy Fried Rice Noodles (Beehoon) with Broccoli and Chicken. Red onion and carrot provide color and additional flavor. Perfect for lunch or the lunchbox.
This summer we have been spending a lot of time in our new garden. It is a very compact garden but with a little planning we are able to grow all the plants we want. I have already share with you our Raised-Bed Vegetable Garden and it that post I showed you the broccoli we harvested. Today, I am going to show you what I made with the broccoli.
Broccoli Harvest
Although we did not get much broccoli out of the six we planted, it was sufficient for one meal. I used them in this quick and easy Fried Rice Noodles. I added chicken for protein. The red onions and carrot provided color and additional flavor. It turned out nicely and we enjoyed it for lunch. Nothing beats super fresh homegrown vegetables cooked and harvested on demand.
