First Things First

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

Deepsided Nonstick Frypan or Wok
Pot
Bowl
Colander

1 Prepare Ingredients

Cut the carrot into matchsticks. De-seed capsicum and thinly slice. Thinly slice spring onion on a slight angle, keeping the white and green parts separate. Peel and mince garlic. Finely shred cabbage. Put a pot of water on to boil (for step 3).

Tip! Instead of cutting the carrot into matchsticks, you can use a box grater.

2 Brown Beef

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add mince, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon and cook for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.

3 Cook Egg Noodles

Add the egg noodles to the pot of boiling water. Cook 5-6 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

4 Add Vegetables

Mix cornflour with 14 cup water in a small bowl, stir well. Add carrot, capsicum, garlic and white parts of spring onion to the browned mince, stir fry for 3 minutes. Add curry powder and stir for another minute, until fragrant. Add YPI stir fry sauce, noodles and cornflour paste. Stir for 2 minutes or until well combined and slightly thickened.

Tip! If the noodles have stuck together, rinse quickly under water before adding to the stir fry.

5 You Plate It

Add the peas, cabbage and green parts of spring onion. Stir fry for 1 - 2 minutes or until cabbage just wilts. Divide among serving bowls, garnish with remaining spring onion and enjoy!
