Instructions

Before you start

  1. Bring a medium pot of hot tap water to a boil for the noodles.

Prep ingredients

  1. Halve 1 carrot lengthwise and thinly slice on an angle. Peel and thinly slice 1 brown onion. Cut 1 baby bok choy into thirds, keeping the leaves and stems separate. Peel and mince 4 cloves garlic. Roughly chop 1 bunch coriander, including the stems.

Make sauce

  1. In a small bowl whisk to combine 2 tsp cornflour, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar. Then add ¼ cup oyster sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tsp chilli flakes (if using).

Cook beef

  1. Separate 400 g beef stir-fry. Heat a large deep frypan over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the beef and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until browned. Set the beef aside on a plate to rest and reserve the pan on heat.
    Tip: Beef stir-fry is best with hot, fast cooking; get the pan very hot before adding the beef and stick to the short cooking time!

Cook noodles

    Tip: Rinsing the noodles prevents them from sticking.
