Step 1
First thing is first, we are going to prepare the chilli beef! Heat the oil in a wok or big frying pan, then stir-fry the garlic, chilli, and beef mince for 5 minutes, or until beautifully browned. This is how you prepare the chilli beef.
Step 2
Meanwhile, to prepare the sauce, put the water, vinegar, soy sauce, peanut butter, and chilli flakes in a small saucepan and boil over low heat, stirring until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
When the beef mince is well cooked and the noodles and cabbage are heated, add them to the skillet and simmer for a further 4-5 minutes. After adding the sauce and giving everything a good stir, divide the noodles into serving dishes. Serve after scattering the peanuts and spring onions on top.
Chilli beef noodles- recipe tips!
- This recipe works well with other types of mince too, such as pork or turkey.
- Noodles that are meant to be cooked immediately are often packed tightly; to prevent this, loosen the noodles in a basin of warm water.
