Macros are for one serving as written. Make gives you more servings of the same size; Portion resizes one serving and moves the macros with it.

Ingredients

  • 180g (6.5 oz) flank steak, sliced thin
  • 75g (2.6 oz) pasta or egg noodles, dry
  • 120g (2 cups) pak choi or cabbage, chopped
  • 60g (1 medium) carrot, shredded
  • 30g (2 tbsp) soy sauce
  • 8g (1 tbsp) cornflour
  • 1 tbsp (12ml) sesame oil
  • 9g (3 cloves) garlic, minced
  • 8g (1.5 tsp) fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, white pepper, 2 spring onions

Method

  1. Boil the noodles 1 min short of the packet time, drain, and rinse under cold water so they stop cooking and do not clump.
  2. Toss the beef with half the cornflour - the thin coat is what keeps it silky at wok heat.
  3. Mix the soy, oyster sauce, sugar, the rest of the cornflour and 60ml / 1/4 cup water into a sauce.
  4. Sear the beef in the sesame oil over maximum heat, 90 seconds, then remove it.
  5. Stir fry the carrot 1 min, then the pak choi 1 min more - stems first if you are using whole heads.
  6. Add the garlic and ginger, 30 seconds, then pour in the sauce and let it thicken.
  7. Add the drained noodles and toss for 90 seconds until the sauce coats rather than pools.
  8. Return the beef and its juices for a final 30 seconds. Finish with white pepper and spring onion.

Tip: rinse the noodles cold after draining. Hot noodles keep cooking and glue together while you do everything else.
