Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Pull out a large lidded frying pan, a medium saucepan, a measuring jug, a sieve & a slow cooker (if using)
Time to fry
- Thinly slice the pepper. Dissolve the half pack of cornflour in the jug with 150ml cold water (75ml for 1 person)
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips and pepper
- Cook for 8 mins, until the beef is golden brown. Season with salt and pepper
Simmer simmer
- Add the hoisin, honey, tamari and cornflour mixture to the pan. Bring to a boil, then transfer to your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-5 hours
- If using the hob, pop a lid on the pan, lower the heat and simmer for 18-20 mins, until cooked through and tender
Boil the noodles
- When the beef has 10 mins remaining, bring the medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Trim the broccoli and cut into thirds
- Once boiling, add the noodles and broccoli to the water. Gently separate the noodles with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
Last bits & plate up
- Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
- Add the noodles and broccoli to the beef. Toss to coat in the sauce and cook for 3-4 mins, until piping hot
- Share the noodles between bowls. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and chilli flakes
