Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Noodles
1

a) Fill and boil your kettle.

b) Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.

c) Add the noodles and cook until tender, 4 mins. 

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

Fry and Spice the Beef
2

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

b) Once hot, add the beef mince and sprinkle over the Indonesian style spice mix.

c) Fry the mince until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Prep Time
3

a) While the beef cooks, halve the bell pepper and remove the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

b) Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin. Halve the lime (see ingredients for amount).

c) Once the mince is cooked, drain and discard any excess fat. Add the sliced pepper and cook until softened, 3-4 mins.

Sauce Things Up
4

a) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the ketjap manis with the rice vinegar, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Squeeze in the lime juice, then combine well. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

b) Once the pepper has softened, add the sticky sauce to the pan and bubble until thickened and glossy, 2-3 mins.

Combine and Stir
5

a) When the sauce has thickened, add the cooked noodles and half the peanuts.

b) Stir to coat the noodles in the sauce and cook until everything's piping hot, 1-2 mins.

c) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash more water if the noodles look a little dry.

Serve
6

a) Share the beef noodles between your bowls.

b) Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining peanuts for those who'd like them.

Enjoy!
