Instructions
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the egg noodles.
- Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until softened, 4-6 mins. Drain in a sieve.
- Return to the pot with a splash of oil.
- Toss to prevent sticking, cover and set aside.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper, discard the core and seeds and thinly slice.
- Trim the courgette and cut into 1cm thick rounds.
- Peel and finely grate the ginger.
- Zest and juice the lime.
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat (without oil).
- Cook the courgette until charred, 6-8 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Turn every 2-3 mins.
- Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
4
- Meanwhile, place a separate large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry the beef mince, pepper and ginger until browned, 6-8 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Use a spoon to break the mince up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
- Add the Thai spice and cook until fragrant, 1 min.
5
- Add the lime juice, stock powder, ketjap manis, sweet chilli sauce, chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice) and 50ml water (double for 4p) to the beef.
