Beef Noodles
Ingredients for the Garlic Beef Noodles:
- 400g of button mushrooms
- 2 tbsp of groundnut oil
- 2 tbsp of rice whine
- 2 tbsp of light soy sauce
- 200g of pak choi
- 400g sirloin beef steak, cut in strips
Ingredients for the marinate:
- 2 tbsp of light soy sauce
- 6 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 small green chili, Seedless and sliced
Method:
- Put all the ingredients for the marinate into a bowl and stir to combine. Add the beef and mix a few times ( For this I tend to use my hands to make sure the beef really is nicely covered with the marinate). For extra flavour, leave to rest for few hours in the fridge before cooking.
Marinated Beef
- Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions. If you have time, leave the noodles to drain for at least 30 minutes before (this is a trick I have learnt from a friend), by leaving the noodles to drain they will not stick to the wok. Add a few drops of groundnut oil to the noodles as they are draining.
- Slice your vegetables and make sure all your ingredients are at hand for when you start to cook.
Sliced Mushrooms and Pak Choi
- Heat a medium sized wok over a high heat. Add the 2 tbsp of groundnut oil.
- When the oil starts to smoke, add the marinated beef to the wok but save the marinate for later.
- Cook for around 1 minute
- Add the 2 tbsp of rice whine and cook for anther minute. Then add the pak choi stems and cook for 1 minute.
- Now add the mushrooms and the pak choi leaves and cook for 1 minute.
Delicious and healthy
- Add the reserved marinate and 2 tbsp of soy sauce and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Remove the contents to a dish so the noodles can go to the wok to be warmed up.
Garlic Beef and vegetables
- Once you have removed the goods from the wok, add a splash of light soy sauce and the noodles. Let them cook for 1 or 2 minutes but stirring constantly.
- Serve and enjoy!
