Sticky Ginger Beef Mince With Sesame Noodles

Before you begin...

Get all your ingredients and equipment ready

Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg

Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)

Now, let's get started!

Boil a kettle

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add your beef mince and cook for 3-4 min, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go

Meanwhile, add your fine egg noodles to a large bowl, cover them with boiled water until fully submerged and stir for 10 secs until the noodles separate

Set aside to soak for 4 min, or until the noodles have softened

While the noodles are soaking, slice your red chilli[es] finely

Tip: Not a fan of spice? Remove the seeds!

Trim, then slice your spring onion[s] roughly

Add half the sliced spring onion (save the rest for garnish!) to the pan with your sugar snap peas and ginger paste and cook for 2 min further or until the beef has started to brown

Once the beef has browned, add your soy sauce, red chilli relish and rice vinegar to the pan and cook for a final 2 min or until sticky and the beef is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your sticky ginger beef mince

Drain the softened noodles and return them to the bowl

Season with a pinch of salt and stir through your toasted sesame oil – these are your sesame noodles
