How To Make Broccoli Noodles

Start this by putting 4 cups of chicken broth on the stove over medium heat to simmer with enough broccoli to fill the pot but leave it covered.

How To Make A Good Roux

While the broth and broccoli is heating, melt a stick of butter in a non-stick pan and whisk in 1/3 cup of flour.

Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, whisking frequently to prevent lumps.

After 5 minutes, stir the roux into the broccoli/broth mixture until combined.

Add the onion powder, mustard powder, salt, and garlic powder into the sauce, along with the egg noodles.
