Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Prep the veggies

    Slice the onion and cut the bell pepper into thin strips. Break the broccoli into florets and finely dice the ginger. Set everything aside in a bowl.

  2. Cook the noodles

    Bring 500 ml of water to a boil in the saucepan. Add the Chinese noodles and cook for 4 min over high heat. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.

    Tip · To keep the beef from releasing too much water, don't crowd the wok: cook it in two batches if needed.
  3. Sear the beef

    Heat the olive oil over high heat in the wok. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry it for 3 min, stirring constantly. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside in a bowl.

  4. Sauté the aromatics

    In the same wok, sauté the onion, ginger and bell pepper over medium heat for 2 min. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 2 more min.

    Tip · If you want more crunch, add a handful of crushed peanuts before serving.
  5. Toss it all together

    Put the beef back in the wok with the veggies. Add the soy sauce and honey. Stir-fry everything for 3 min over high heat to coat it well.

  6. Add the noodles

    Stir the drained noodles into the wok. Toss well to coat them in sauce. Let it heat for 2 min over low heat.

  7. Serve and sprinkle

    Split the stir-fry between two plates. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve right away.
