Equipment

  • Wok or large frying pan
  • Pot for boiling noodles
  • Tongs or wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • For the Beef:
  • 250 g 5% fat beef mince
  • 2 crushed garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • Pinch of chili flakes
  • Pinch of ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp five spice
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • For the Sauce and Noodles:
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1 pak choi sliced
  • 2 spring onions sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 nests of dry noodles boiled as per packet instructions
  • Optional Garnish:
  • Chili flakes
  • Sesame seeds
  • Extra sliced spring onions

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prep the Noodles.
  • Boil the dry noodles according to the packet instructions. You can also boil any additional vegetables you’d like to serve on the side. Drain and set aside.
  • Step 2: Cook the Beef.
  • Heat a wok over high heat with a spray of oil. Add the garlic cloves, chili flakes, and garlic granules, and stir-fry for a couple of minutes. Add the beef mince, ground ginger, and five spice, and cook until the beef is browned and crispy. Stir in the soy sauce and hoisin sauce, cooking for a few more minutes. Set half of the beef aside to use as a topping later.
  • Step 3: Stir-Fry the Veggies.
  • In the same wok, stir-fry the diced red pepper, sliced pak choi, and spring onions until softened.
  • Step 4: Combine Everything.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the wok along with the soy sauce and hoisin sauce. Stir well to coat the noodles in the sauce. Add half of the crispy beef back to the pan and mix everything together.
  • Step 5: Serve.
  • Divide the noodles between two bowls and top with the reserved crispy beef. Garnish with chili flakes, sesame seeds, and extra spring onions for a pop of flavor and color.

Notes

  • Crisp the Beef: Make sure the beef is cooked on high heat for that crispy texture.
  • Cook Noodles Just Right: Avoid overcooking the noodles, as they can become mushy when added to the wok.
  • Balance the Sauce: Taste the sauce before mixing it with the noodles, and adjust the soy or hoisin sauce as needed.
