Quick and easy sticky beef stir-fry with noodles. Ready in under 30 minutes!
Ingredients:
  • 200g dried pad Thai rice noodles
  • 161.25 gm plum sauce
  • 21.00 gm soy sauce
  • 21.00 gm lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
  • 36.80 gm vegetable oil
  • 600g beef rump steak, trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch gai lan, stems and leaves separated, roughly chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled into ribbons
  • 150g sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 3 green onions, thickly sliced diagonally
  • 40.00 ml flaked almonds, toasted
Instructions:
  • Place noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to stand for 4 to 5 minutes until tender. Use a fork to separate the noodles, then drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well before using.
  • Combine the plum sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, and five-spice powder in a small bowl.
  • Heat a wok over high heat and add half of the oil, swirling it around to coat the wok. Stir-fry half of the beef for 1 to 2 minutes until browned, then transfer to a heatproof bowl. Repeat with the remaining beef.
  • Pour the rest of the oil into the wok and swirl it around to coat the ingredients. Stir-fry the gai lan stems, carrot, and peas for 2 minutes until they are almost tender. Then, add the gai lan leaves and stir-fry for 1 more minute until they are just wilted.
  • Add the beef along with its resting juices back to the wok with the sauce mixture, noodles, and half of the onion. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until everything is heated through. Serve the dish sprinkled with almonds and the remaining onion.
