Ingredients
  • 500 g lean beef steak or stir fry beef (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 drizzle toasted sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves (peeled & crushed)
  • 3cm fresh ginger (peeled & grated)
  • salt & pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 drizzle groundnut oil
  • 1 red pepper (de-seeded & sliced)
  • 3 spring onions (sliced)
  • 1 green chilli (finely sliced)
  • 150 g beansproats
  • 1 handful fresh coriander (finely chopped)
  • 300 g medium egg noodles
    • For the sauce
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
Instructions
  1. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil for the noodles.
  2. Place the beef into a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, garlic, ginger and a little sesame oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper, mix well. Leave to marinade for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the vegetables.
  3. Heat a wok or a large frying pan until hot then add a little groundnut oil, and a touch of sesame oil, swirling the wok to coat the surface evenly. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until nicely browned. Strain into a colander and catch the juices in a bowl underneath.
  4. Add a little more groundnut oil and sesame oil to the pan and stir-fry the pepper, chilli, and spring onions for 2-3 minutes. Add the bean sprouts and half the chopped coriander for the last 30 seconds. Remove the vegetables and transfer to the colander with the beef.
  5. For the sauce, pour 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, the oyster sauce, rice vinegar and the reserved beef juices to the pan and allow to reduce to a syrupy glaze.
  6. Blanch the noodles in the boiling water for about 3-4 minutes, until tender but still retaining a slight bite, then drain.
  7. Return the beef, vegetables and noodles to the pan with the sauce to warm though and combine. Serve at once and sprinkle with the remaining coriander. Enjoy!
