Ingredients
200g noodles
2 tbsp sunflower oil
500g beef mince
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-inch piece ginger, grated
1 red chilli, finely diced
10 baby corns, halved
160g green beans, sliced lengthways
1 tbsp cornflour
100ml water
4 tbsp dark soy sauce
3 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp honey
Sesame seeds
1 spring onion, finely diced
Method
Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, then strain and set aside.
To make the sauce, add the cornflour to a bowl and slowly stir in the soy sauce until smooth, then whisk in the water, oyster sauce and honey.
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over medium to high heat.
Add the mince and cook until browned. Stir in the tomato purée, then add the garlic, ginger, chilli, baby corn and green beans. Cook for 5 minutes.
Increase the heat and pour in the sauce, letting it bubble for a minute to coat everything.
Serve with noodles and garnish with sesame seeds and spring onion.
Sarah’s secret: Freeze fresh ginger and chillies so you always have a supply ready for stir-fries.
