  • 1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon freshly minced ginger
  • 500 g minced (ground) beef
  • cup sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar see note 1

  • 2 cups frozen vegetables of choice broccoli pictured
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced

Instructions
 

  • Cook the noodles – Cook the noodles as per the packet instructions, less 1 minute (ideally until they are just pliable). Rinse with cold water and set aside.
  • Cook the beef – Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the olive oil, garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the beef and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned.
  • Add the sweet chilli sauce, brown sugar, tamari or all-purpose soy sauce, dark soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and caramelised.
  • Add the frozen vegetables. Place the lid on, and cook for 2–3 minutes or until the vegetables have softened to your liking.
  • Thicken the sauce – In a small bowl, combine the water and cornflour and add the mixture to the stir-fry and cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until it is glossy and thickened.
  • Add the noodles – Add the noodles and spring onion (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish) and cook for 1 minute or until the noodles are heated through.
  • Serve – Serve topped with the reserved spring onion and chilli oil, if using.
