Chinese Beef Stir-Fry

Add the udon noodles to the saucepan of boiling water and cook until just tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water.

While the noodles are cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. When the oil is hot, add 1/2 the beef strips and cook until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it brown and stay tender.

Return the frying pan or wok to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrot, green beans and a splash of water and cook, tossing, until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and Asian greens and cook until just wilted, 1 minute.

Add the udon noodles to the pan and pour in the oyster sauce mixture. Cook, tossing, until thickened slightly and well coated, 1 minute. Return the beef to the pan along with the roasted peanuts and toss to combine.
