Hoisin Beef Udon

Cook the mince

Thinly slice the onion and quarter the lime. Get a pan hot with a little oil, then fry the onion and beef mince until browned, 5 to 6 minutes, breaking the mince up with a spoon as it goes. Cook it until there is no pink left, season, and wash up anything that touched the raw mince.

Add the broccolini

Add the broccolini and the garlic, ginger & lemongrass paste, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Splash in a little water, cover, and steam for another 4 to 5 minutes.

Coat the noodles

Stir in the soy sauce and hoisin sauce and let them warm for a minute. Pull the udon noodles apart with your hands, add them with a splash of water, and toss to coat. Cover and simmer until the noodles soften, 1 to 2 minutes, loosening with a little more water if it gets sticky.

Finish and serve

Finish with a squeeze of lime and season to taste. Divide between bowls and serve with the rest of the lime wedges for squeezing over.
