Sweet Chilli Beef

Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Thinly slice widthways. Trim and thinly slice the spring onion.

Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until tender, 4 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander. Refill your saucepan (off the heat) with cold water and pop in the noodles. TIP: This stops them from cooking any more.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once your oil is really hot, add the beef strips (leaving any marinade in your bowl) and fry until browned on the outside, 2-3 mins, stirring occasionally. Transfer the beef strips to a clean bowl. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.

Once your beef strips are removed from the pan, add another drizzle of oil if the pan is dry, then add the pepper, carrot, a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir-fry until the veggies are softened, 5-6 mins. Add any leftover marinade and half the spring onion to your pan, stir and cook for 2 mins. Add the beef strips back in as well, along with the sesame seeds, stir and cook until piping hot, 2 mins. IMPORTANT: The beef is safe to eat when the outside is browned.
