Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the grill to high (240C)
  • Line a large baking tray with foil
  • Pull out a large frying pan or wok, a large frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Grill the aubergine

  • Dice the aubergine into 1cm chunks. Add the aubergine to the large foil-lined tray, then toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Grill for 8 mins
  • Trim the green beans. Finely slice the pepper
  • After 8 mins, move the aubergine to one side. Add the green beans and pepper to the other side of the tray. Toss with 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt
  • Grill for another 8-10 mins, until the veg is soft and golden

Fry the beef

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and cook for 3 mins
  • Add the ginger & garlic paste and teriyaki sauce along with 150ml water. Bring to a boil then simmer for 8 mins, until the sauce is glossy and the beef is cooked through

Cook the noodles

  • Meanwhile, bring the large saucepan filled with hot salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and simmer for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
  • Add the honey and miso to the small bowl and mix to combine. When ready, drizzle the miso glaze over the aubergine and toss to combine
  • Toss the noodles and veg through the beef (make it kid friendly: let the kids choose which veg to toss in their noodles). Season to taste

Finish & plate up

  • Serve the teriyaki beef noodles into bowls. Drizzle over the chilli paste (for those who'd like the heat)
