Ingredients
Drizzle vegetable oil/light olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4-5cm ginger, grated
1 red chilli, finely chopped
250g minced beef
1 tsp. Chinese five-spice
1 tsp. cornflour
3 tbsp. hoisin sauce
1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar
2 nests dried medium egg noodles
160g Tenderstem broccoli
2 spring onions, sliced
1 tsp. sesame seeds
Method
Heat a the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the garlic, ginger and chilli. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the minced beef and Chinese five-spice and fry for around 5 minutes, until starting to brown, breaking the mince up as you go.
While the mince is cooking, make your stir-fry sauce by whisking the cornflour into 75ml cold water, and then adding the hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar and sugar.
Put the noodles and broccoli in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes until the noodles are cooked and the broccoli is tender.
Once the beef has browned, add the stir-fry sauce along with half the spring onions cooking for 3-4 minutes until the mince is cooked through.
Drain the noodles and broccoli and add to the stir-fry.
Serve in bowls, topping with the remaining spring onions and the sesame seeds.
