Instructions

Get Started
1

a) Trim and halve the green beans.

b) Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Slice widthways into pieces about 1/2 cm thick.

c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Fry the Veg
2

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the green beans and carrot. Stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Add a splash of water, then cover with a lid (or foil) and allow to cook until tender, 2-3 mins more. Season with salt and pepper.

c) Remove the veg and place in a medium bowl. Cover to keep warm. 

Get Your Mince On
3

a) Wipe out your frying pan, then pop back on frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

b) Once hot, add the beef mince. Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks.

c) 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.

Flavour Town
4

a) Once the mince is cooked, add the garlic and fry for 1 min more.

b) Stir in the hoisin, ketjap and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). 

c) Simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, 2-3 mins.

Udon Time
5

a) Add the udon noodles to the pan along with the beans and carrot.

b) Toss to coat in the sauce, using a fork to gently separate them. Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

c) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Share the noodles between your serving bowls.

Enjoy!
