Quick and easy beef stir fry

My kids love these crunchy noodles – me not so much! But they do work when you want to throw together a stir fry super quickly. The whole meal takes only 15 minutes to whip up, so it is great on nights when you have lots of after-school activities and not much time.

Ingredients:

• 2 – 3 x 100 gram packets of Changs Noodles
• 3 carrots
• 1 red capsicum
• 1 bunch spring onions
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 500 grams beef strips
• 2 tablespoons Sweet Chilli Sauce
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tbsp water

Method:

1. Finely slice carrots, capsicum and spring onions.
2. Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok, add meat and brown.
3. Add spring onions to the pan and cook for a minute or two constantly stirring. Then add crushed garlic and cook for another minute or so.
4. Add veggies and cook stirring constantly for 1 – 2 minutes.
5. Add soy sauce, chilli sauce and water to the pan. Stir for a minute.
6. Place a bed of noodles onto a plate and add serve the stir fry on top.
