Cooking Steps
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp salt for the noodles.
Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Trim and halve the green beans.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the beef mince and sliced pepper. Stir-fry until the mince has browned and the pepper has softened, 5-6 mins.
Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Meanwhile, add the noodles and green beans to the pan of boiling water. Cook until tender, 4 mins.
Once cooked, drain in a colander. TIP: Run the noodles under cold water to stop them sticking together and to keep the beans vibrant.
Once the beef mince has browned and the pepper has started to soften, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min.
Once cooked, add the noodles and beans to the frying pan.
Pour in the hoisin sauce, ketjap manis, soy sauce and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), then mix well to combine.
Cook until everything's piping hot, 2-3 mins, then remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Share the hoisin beef noodles between your serving bowls.
Finish with a sprinkling of roasted sesame seeds for those who'd like them.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The hoisin, ketjap manis and soy sauce combination delivers a rich, satisfying flavour that many find comparable to a Chinese takeaway. Some find the sauce a little sweet or salty, so consider using less hoisin or soy if you prefer a lighter finish.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward stir-fry that the whole family can get involved with, including children helping with simple prep steps.
- Suggestions: Add chilli oil, chilli flakes, or a squeeze of lime to give the dish more of a kick; some also recommend frying the green beans with the pepper rather than boiling them to save time. Drain the fat well after browning the mince to keep the dish from feeling greasy.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers keep well and taste just as good reheated the following day, making it a handy lunch option.
- Portions: Portion opinions are mixed — some find it generous, others feel it falls a little short, particularly for larger families; padding it out with extra noodles or veg such as courgette, carrot, or onion works well.
