Ingredients
Below are the ingredients needed to create the Beef Noodle Delight:
- For the beef:
- 500 g Steak
- 2 tbsp Cornflour
- 2 tsp Chinese 5 spice
- For the vegetables:
- 2 Green peppers, deseeded and sliced into thin strips
- 3 Spring onions, trimmed and sliced
- 2 tsp Red chilli, finely chopped
- 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cm Ginger, minced
- For the sauce:
- 2 tbsp Tomato ketchup
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
- 3 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 4 tbsp Water
- For the noodles:
- 150 g Dried egg noodles
- To cook and garnish:
- 2 tbsp Sunflower oil
- Extra spring onions and chilli, for garnishing (optional)
Step-by-step Directions
1. Cooking the noodles
Cook the noodles in a pan of boiling water according to the pack instructions. Drain and set aside once done.
2. Preparing the beef
Slice the steak into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the steak strips with cornflour and Chinese 5 spice until well coated. Set aside.
3. Preparing the sauce and vegetables
Prepare all your vegetables as described in the ingredients section. In a separate small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
4. Cooking the meat
Heat a wok or deep frying pan over high heat with the sunflower oil. Cook the steak strips in batches to avoid overcrowding, allowing them to become crisp. Transfer the cooked steak to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain excess oil.
5. Cooking the vegetables and sauce
In the same pan used for the meat, add the peppers and red chilli, cooking for two minutes. Then add the garlic, ginger, and spring onions, cooking for an additional minute. Pour in the prepared sauce and cook until it turns glossy, about a minute more.
6. Combining and serving
Add the drained noodles and crispy steak back into the pan, mixing well to ensure everything is coated with the sauce. Heat through, then garnish with additional spring onions and chilli, if using, before serving.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe serves approximately 4 people. Total preparation and cooking time is about 30 minutes.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a microwave or stovetop until thoroughly hot. Add a little water if the noodles appear dry.
