["Beyond
• For a richer stew, stir up to 1/2 cup heavy or light cream into the goulash after opening the cooker in step.
• Or for brighter flavor, stir up to 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar into the goulash after opening the cooker in step 7. (But do not use both cream and vinegar— the cream will curdle.)
• Add up to 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables: Scatter them over the top of the dish after you stir in the noodles in step 7. (That way, they’ll steam on
top of the dish without dropping the temperature of the sauce too much.
• Garnish the servings with ground black or red pepper, if desired."]
