Ingredients
Sesame oil is a nutty-flavoured oil often used in Oriental cooking. It’s quite expensive but a little goes a long way. If unavailable, use stir-fry or sunflower oil.
- 250g packet fine egg noodles
- 4 flash-fry steaks, cut into thin strips
- 5ml (1tsp) cornflour
- 10ml (2tsp) toasted sesame oil
- 5ml (1tsp) grated root ginger
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 large red pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 3 carrots, peeled and finely shredded
- 100g (4oz) mangetout, thinly sliced
- 45ml (3tbsp) sweet chilli sauce
Method
- Cook the noodles in a large pan of lightly salted water according to the packet instructions. Toss the strips of steak in the cornflour and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan until almost smoking. Add the steak strips, ginger and garlic and stir-fry over a high heat for 1-2 mins until the steak strips are browned all over.
- Add the pepper, carrots and mangetout to the pan and stir-fry for 2 mins. Stir in the chilli sauce and cook for a further minute.
- Drain the noodles and divide between four bowls. Top with the steak and vegetables and serve immediately.
