Cooking Instructions
Boil the noodles
- Cook the noodles in boiling water for 3-4 mins. Drain, then rinse.
Sizzle the mince
- Meanwhile, spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Tip in the mince and lightly season.
- Cook the mince for 4-6 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over.
Spice things up!
- At the same time, trim the pak choi and cut into bite-size pieces. Deseed the peppers and dice into 1cm squares. Finely dice the chillies (deseed for less heat), and pick the coriander into small sprigs.
- Add the pak choi, peppers and chillies (to taste) to the frying pan and cook for 1 min.
- Squeeze in both pastes and stir.
Turn up the flavour
- Boil a half-full kettle, and thinly slice the spring onions.
- Sprinkle the spring onions, tamari and fish sauce into the frying pan, pour in 150ml boiled water (250ml for 4 portions) and stir well.
- Tip in the noodles and warm through for 1 min.
Add your final flourish
- To serve, top the beef noodles with the coriander.
