Cooking Steps

Cook the noodles
1

• Boil the kettle. 
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water.
• Cook rice noodles over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a fork to separate, until tender, 4-6 minutes.
• Drain, rinse and drizzle with olive oil. 

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice spring onion, reserving the white ends.
• Trim and slice pea pods lengthways.
• Finely chop garlic.
• SPICY! The sambal paste is hot, use less if you’re sensitive to heat. In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, kecap manis, half of the sambal, a splash of water and the soy sauce.

Cook the beef & the egg
3
  • In a large frying pan or wok, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook pea pods, tossing, until just tender, 3-4 minutes.
  • In the last 2 minutes of cook time, add beef strips to pan and cook in batches until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. 
  • Return the frying pan to a high heat and crack the egg into the pan with garlic and spring onion white and scramble until cooked through, 1 minute.
  • Add the sauce, cooked noodles, pea pods and beef and toss, until combined, 1 minutes.

TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
