150 milliliter(s)
Water for the Sauce

a) Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the pak choi, then thinly slice widthways.
c) In a small bowl, mix the cornflour and water for the cornflour (see pantry for amount) until smooth - this is your cornflour slurry! Set aside for now.

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the beef mince and pepper chunks. Season with salt and pepper.
c) Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks.
d) When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

a) Meanwhile, boil a full kettle.
b) Pop the udon noodles into a large heatproof bowl. Pour over the boiling water to cover the noodles.
c) Leave for 2-3 mins, then gently separate with a fork. Drain in a colander.

a) In a small bowl, combine the sesame seeds, chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and a third of the soy sauce.
b) Drizzle in a little oil and mix well - this is your sesame-chilli dressing. Set aside for later.

a) Once the mince has browned, lower the heat and stir in the garlic. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
b) Add in the sweet chilli sauce, pak choi, ketchup and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) with the remaining soy sauce.
c) Bring the sauce to a simmer and vigorously stir in the cornflour mixture until you have a thick and sticky sauce, 2-3 mins. TIP: Cornflour likes to separate from the liquid, so give it a quick whisk just before adding it to the pan.
d) Add in the cooked udon and edamame beans and toss until coated in the sauce. Add a splash of water if needed. Season with salt and pepper.

a) When everything's ready, share the beef udon between serving bowls.
b) Elevate me: Spoon over the sesame-chilli dressing over the adult portions to finish.
