Ingredients
For the Slow Cook:
500 g (1.1 lb) Diced beef
4 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
8 tbsp Soy sauce (reduced salt)
5 tbsp Oyster sauce
6 tbsp Runny honey
6 tbsp Tomato ketchup
150 ml (0.75 cups) Boiling water
To Finish:
300 ml (1.25 cups) Boiling water
250 g (9 oz) Dried egg noodles, uncooked
1 Green pepper, sliced
160 g (6 oz) Sugar snap peas, halved
To Serve:
Spring onions, chopped
1–2 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Add the diced beef, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, ketchup, and 150 ml of boiling water to the slow cooker. Stir well to coat the beef.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 3.5 hours or LOW for 5.5 hours, until the beef is tender and the sauce is rich.
- Add the remaining 300 ml boiling water, uncooked noodles, green pepper, and sugar snap peas. Stir to ensure the noodles are submerged in the sauce.
- Replace the lid and cook for a further 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are tender and coated in sauce.
- Serve hot, topped with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Use lamb, or chicken instead of beef for variation.
For a vegetarian version, replace beef with tofu or mushrooms and oyster sauce with hoisin sauce.
Add baby corn, broccoli, or mangetout with the noodles for more vegetables.
To make it spicier, add chili paste or sriracha to taste.
Stir a cornflour slurry (1 tbsp cornflour + 2 tbsp water) at the end for a thicker sauce.
