Variations
- Make it gluten free: Check tomato paste is gluten free and use gluten-free soy sauce.
- Use beef or chicken mince instead of venison.
- Use different noodles such as egg noodles or soba noodles.
- Vary the veges: Try capsicum, cauliflower, celery or bok choy.
- Add a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter to the sauce (add a bit more hot water, too) to make a satay-style noodle dish.
- Leave the noodles out and serve the meat and vege mixture with steamed brown rice.
