Honey Sesame Beef Noodle Stir-Fry

When your pan of water is boiling, add the noodles and cook until tender, 4 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a sieve and run under cold water to stop them sticking together.

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then 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.

Once the mince is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Wipe out your (now empty) frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the Tenderstem® and stir-fry for 2-3 mins, then add the carrot ribbons and garlic and stir-fry for 30 secs more. 

Add a splash of water, then cover with a lid (or foil) and allow to cook until tender, 4-6 mins more. Season with salt and pepper.

Once the veg is cooked, add the soy sauce, ketjap manis, honey, tomato ketchup and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) with half the sesame seeds to the pan. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

Stir to combine well, then add the cooked mince and noodles to the pan.

Stir together until piping hot, 2-3 mins.
