Ingredients

  • 350 g beef tenderloin, stir fry strips (£3.95)
  • 160 g mange tout (£1.00)
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced (£0.15)
  • 600 g Udon noodles, 2 packs (4 sets of noodles) (£1.00x2)=(£2.00)
  • 1-2 tbsp ginger (£0.50)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, (£0.39)
  • 2 bulbs of pak choi, sliced lengthways into quarters (£1.00)
  • 1 bunch coriander (£0.55)
  • Serve with extra broccoli, in meal prep containers (£0.55)

Cupboard Essentials

  • Salt
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp sweet soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • Optional chilli flakes

Instructions

  • Start by coating the beef evenly in cornflour. Mixing well in a large bowl.
  • Add half of the rapeseed oil into the pan and increase the heat to high. Evenly distribute half of the beef across the pan and fry for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Repeat with the second batch, setting the beef aside. Season with salt.
  • Next, add the remaining rapeseed oil into the pan, along with the mange tout and onion. Season with salt and chilli flakes and fry for a couple of minutes.
  • To that, layer the udon noodles into the pan, then the pak choi. Add a splash of water into the pan and cover with a lid, reducing the heat to medium. Leave to cook for 4 minutes, or until the noodles are loose enough to separate without breaking.
  • Remove the lid and add the beef, soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, rice vinegar and an extra pinch of salt. Stir to incorporate all of the flavours. Serve with a sprinkle of optional coriander and a serving of broccoli.

Notes

  • Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying beef to prevent steaming and reduce flavor.
  • Fry beef on high heat briefly to maximize browning and avoid overcooking.
  • Don't separate udon noodles before steaming in the pan to prevent breaking.
