recipe ready in 15 minutes (or less if you are really quick and not using meat!)

 

 

 

 

ingredients

 

250g egg noodles

1 bag stir fry vegetables (I used about 400g size)

300g minced beef (but you can use pork, prawns, chicken, tofu, extra veg - it's up to you)

1 tbs oil

 

sauce:

3 tbs peanut butter (I like crunchy for the texture but smooth is OK)

3 tbs soya sauce

3 tbs sweet chilli sauce

6 tbs boiled water

 

optional sauce extras:

crushed garlic

grated ginger

lime zest

 

optional toppings:

sesame seeds

lime segment

chilli flakes

chopped mint/coriander

chopped peanuts

sliced spring onions

• mix all the sauce ingredients together and leave to one side while you prepare everything else
• turn on frying pan and when hot carefully add oil and fry beef (or other ingredient of choice) for approx 10 minutes on a high heat. Make sure meat is hot and completely cooked through.

• at the same time add noodles to a pan and carefully pour over boiled water to soften (follow packet instructions as noodles take different amounts of time).
• drain when cooked and leave to one side

• when the beef (etc....) is cooked add the stir fry veg mix and fry for a minute on a high heat.
• add the noodles to the pan with the stir fry and meat and pour over the sauce mix
• heat through for a couple of minutes
• serve with optional toppings - I used chopped mint, chilli flakes, sesame seeds and lime segments
• enjoy your super quick and tasty noodles ready in only 15 minutes!
