HOISIN BEEF NOODLES
A quick weeknight meal which is delicious as is but you can easily switch out ingredients: add ground chicken, pork or shrimps instead of beef, rice noodles over egg noodles and any veg that takes your fancy. I used dried Chinese egg noodles but they can be found fresh in good Asian markets. If you get stuck and can’t find either, use linguine.

Equipment
- large wok or deep skillet
Ingredients
- 8 oz Chinese egg noodles cooked according to package directions (about 225g
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or regular white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon avocado or peanut oil
- 1 lb lean ground grass-fed beef about 500g
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
- 2 cups shredded Napa Chinese cabbage
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1/2 cup toasted cashew halves & pieces
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions, plus extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Thinly sliced red chili, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. I used dried Chinese egg noodles and cooked them for 3 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain the noodles, rinse under cool water to stop them sticking and set aside to drain.
- In a small bowl, combine all the sauces and vinegar.
- Heat a large wok or a large, deep, frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then the beef. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking up any large pieces of beef, until browned. Drain and discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan.
- Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes until the onion is starting to soften. Add garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add cabbage and carrot. Stir-fry until well combine and cabbage is starting to wilt.
- Add the noodles and sauce mixture. Stir-fry gently taking care not to break up the noodles, until the noodles are hot and coated in the sauce.
- Add cashews and green onions. Top with sesame seeds, red chili and extra green onions. Drizzle with extra hoisin sauce.
