Ingredients you'll need
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 bundles of Thai rice noodles
  • 250g beef stir-fry strips
  • 40g honey
  • 1 tbsp tamari
From your kitchen
  • 1½ tbsp sunflower, coconut or olive oil
  • 100ml boiling water
  • Sea salt
You'll need
  • Large pan with a lid
  • Large wok or deep frying pan
  • Measuring jug
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill your kettle and boil it, then pour the hot water into a large pan. Pop on a lid and put the pan on a high heat to come to the boil. Meanwhile, halve the red and green peppers and scoop out the seeds and white pith. Finely slice them. Peel and finely chop the garlic.

  • 2.

    Check the water in the pan. It should be boiling, so add 2 bundles of noodles and simmer for 3-5 mins till tender. Fill the kettle and put it on to boil again.

  • 3.

    While the noodles cook, put a large wok or deep frying pan on a high heat. Warm for 2 mins, then add ½ tbsp oil and the beef stir-fry strips. Stir fry for 4-5 mins till the beef strips are browned all over. Scoop them out of the pan and set aside on a plate.

  • 4.

    Add another ½ tbsp oil to the wok and add the garlic. Sizzle for 15 secs, then add the peppers. Stir fry for 3-4 mins till the veg have started to soften but still have some bite.

  • 5.

    When the noodles are cooked, drain them and tip back into the pan. Add ½ tbsp oil and toss to coat the noodles – this helps to stop them sticking.

  • 6.

    Return the beef to the pan. Add the honey and 1 tbsp tamari. Pour in 100ml hot water from the kettle. Bubble for 2 mins. Taste and add a pinch of salt or more tamari if you think it needs it. Add the noodles to the wok and gently pick everything up a few times with 2 forks to mix the noodles, beef and veg together. Divide between 2 warm plates or bowls and serve.
