Method

  • step 1

    Mix the beef and five-spice in a bowl, then set aside to marinate. Soften the noodles in boiling water following pack instructions, drain then set aside. Thinly slice the red chilli, leaving the seeds if you prefer a little extra heat. Mix with the garlic, ginger and lemongrass in a small bowl. Heat half the oil in a wok, add the chilli mixture and stir-fry for 1 min until softened but not coloured. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside while you cook the beef.

  • step 2

    Heat the remaining oil, add the beef and stir-fry over a high heat for 1 min until browned and just cooked through.

  • step 3

    Return the chilli mixture to the pan with the sugar snaps, baby corn and half the spring onions. Stir-fry for 1 min more before adding the drained noodles. Mix to thoroughly combine, take off the heat and add a squeeze of lime juice, the soy sauce and fish sauce.

  • step 4

    Divide between four plates. Scatter with the peanuts, garnish with remaining spring onions and chopped coriander.

Fabulous! I used rare leftover roast beef and plenty of ginger, plus left the seeds in the chilli. Spicy and delicous!

question

My wife is seafood allergic. Is it necessary to use the fish sauce? Are there suitable substitutes?

We'd suggest leaving it out. You can add a dash more soy and lime if you feel the flavour needs intensifying.

Great mid week recipe.

Really nice, simple recipe. I think you could easily go twice as much ginger though if you like the beef and ginger combo

Very good recipe, I left out the peanuts and fish sauce because of allergies and added extra soy sauce and lime and it was really tasty. I also used straight to wok noodles. Will make this again.
