Hoisin Beef Udon

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the mince

   Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Quarter the lime. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, fry the onion and beef mince until browned, 5–6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Use a spoon to break the mince up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Add the broccolini

   Add the broccolini and lemongrass paste to the pan and fry for 2–3 mins. Add a splash of water, cover with the lid, and cook for another 4–5 mins.

3. 3

   Coat the noodles

   Stir through the soy sauce and hoisin sauce and allow to warm through, 1–2 mins. Carefully separate the noodles by hand and add to the sauce. Mix well to coat and add a splash of water. Cover and simmer until the noodles have softened, 1–2 mins. Loosen the sauce with a splash more water if required.

4. 4

   Finish and serve

   Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Divide the hoisin beef noodles between bowls. Serve with the remaining lime wedges alongside for squeezing over.
