Teriyaki Beef Stir-Fry

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

b) 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. 

c) 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.

a) Meanwhile, when your pan of water is boiling, add the noodles and cook until tender, 4 mins. 

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

a) Once the mince is browned, transfer it to a bowl.

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

a) Add the cooked mince back into the pan along with the teriyaki sauce, water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and the cooked noodles.

b) Mix to coat everything well and cook until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

c) Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.
