Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g (9 oz) thin egg noodles
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 tsp (5 ml) freshly minced garlic
- 1 tsp (5 ml) freshly minced ginger
- 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) minced beef
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tsp (5 ml) brown sugar
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) tamari or all-purpose soy sauce
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) rice vinegar
- 2 cups (480 ml) frozen vegetables of choice (broccoli pictured)
- ½ cup (125 ml) water
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) cornstarch
- 2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
- Chilli oil, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the noodles according to the instructions on the packet, but reduce the cooking time by a minute so they remain slightly firm. Rinse them under cold water and put them aside.
- Warm a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil, along with the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for half a minute.
- Introduce the minced beef to the pan and cook it for two to three minutes until it achieves a browned appearance.
- Pour in the sweet chili sauce, brown sugar, tamari or regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Let this simmer for two to three minutes until the sauce becomes thick and caramel-like.
- Add the frozen vegetables to the pan. Cover with a lid and allow them to cook for two to three minutes, or until they reach your desired level of tenderness.
- In a separate small bowl, blend the water with the cornstarch, then pour the mixture into the pan and stir for one to two minutes until the sauce is glossy and has thickened.
- Incorporate the noodles and finely sliced spring onions (saving a tablespoon for garnishing) into the pan, and cook for one minute or until the noodles are thoroughly warmed.
- Plate the dish with the reserved spring onions on top and drizzle with chili oil if desired.
Notes
- For a leaner option, switch out the minced beef for ground turkey or chicken.
- Customize the frozen vegetables with your preferred choices like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots.
- For a spicier flavor, add red pepper flakes or diced fresh chili peppers to the dish.
