Instructions

Get Prepped
1

a) Slice the sugar snap peas in half lengthways.

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

Bring on the Noodles
2

a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp salt.

b) When boiling, add the noodles to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 4 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a colander. TIP: Run the noodles under cold water to stop them sticking together.

 

Cook the Beef
3

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. The beef is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Build the Flavour
4

a) Once the beef has browned, add the sugar snaps, red Thai style paste and garlic to the pan.

b) Stir-fry until fragrant, 1 min.

Combine and Stir
5

a) Add the cooked noodles, ketjap manis, water and sugar (see pantry for both amounts) to the pan. Stir to combine and piping hot, then remove from the heat.

b) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve Up
6

a) When ready, share the beef noodles between your bowls.

b) Sprinkle over the sesame seeds to finish.

Enjoy!
