5 Tips:

🔸️1. Don’t drain the fat unless there’s too much—it adds flavor!

🔸️2. Beef base gives a richer taste than just salt; don’t skip it if you have it.

🔸️3. Stir the noodles occasionally so they don’t stick or clump.

🔸️4. Mashed potatoes can be made ahead and kept warm while the noodles cook.

🔸️5. A pat of butter on top right before serving makes it extra comforting.

✅️Conclusion:

This dish isn’t about fancy ingredients—it’s about heart, warmth, and home. It’s a simple meal, but it carries the love of generations. For me, every bite is like my mom wrapping her arms around me. I hope it brings you the same comfort it always brings me.
