Ingredientes

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

¼ cup (60 ml) hoisin sauce

1 tbsp mirin (can be substituted with rice wine vinegar)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, finely sliced

1 tsp freshly minced garlic

500 g (1 lb 2 oz) minced (ground) beef

2 cups (120 g) broccoli florets (see note 1 for frozen broccoli)

1¾ cups (435 ml) water

200 g (7 oz) thin egg noodles (see note 2)

1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

2 tbsp tamari or all-purpose soy sauce (optional)

1 tsp sesame seeds

1 spring onion (scallion), finely sliced

Chilli oil, to serve (optional)

Instruções

To make the sauce, combine the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the beef and cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula as you go.

Add the sauce and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring, until caramelised.

Add the broccoli, then place the lid on and cook for 1–2 minutes.

Push the beef and broccoli mixture to the outside of the pan to make a well in the middle.

Pour in 1½ cups (375 ml) of the water and add the uncooked noodles to the centre of the pan. Cook, covered, without stirring, for 1 minute. Flip the noodles and cook for another 1 minute, covered, or until the noodles are just pliable.

Using tongs, toss the noodles through the beef and broccoli.

In a small bowl, combine the cornflour with the remaining 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water.

Add the cornflour and water mixture to the stir-fry, stir it through, then cook, tossing with tongs, for 1–2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and created a lovely glaze around the noodles.

Season to taste with the tamari or soy sauce.

Serve scattered with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion. Drizzle with chilli oil, if using.

Notas

Would cook the noodles separately so they don’t get soggy & makes it easier for leftovers!
