• 1 tbs dark soy sauce
• 1/ 4 Cup hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1 onion

• 200g thin egg noodles
• 1.75 cups of water
• 1 tbsp cornflour
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds

Method

1. To make sauce, combine the dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce and mirin in a small bowl. Set aside
2. Heat a large, heavy-based skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the beef mince and cook, stirring for 3-4 minutes until browned, breaking it up with your spoon as you go
4. Add the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until caramelised. Add the broccoli, place the lid on and cook for 1-2 minutes.
5. Push the beef and broccoli mixture to the outside of the pan to make a well in the middle. Pour in 1.5 cups of water and add the uncooked noodles to the centre of the pan.
6. Cook, covered, without stirring for 1 minute. Flip the noodles and cook for another 1 minute, covered, or until the noodles are just pliable. Using tongs, toss the noodles through the beef and broccoli.
7. Combine the corn flour with the remaining 1/4 cup of water. Add the corn flour and water mixture to the stir-fry and cook, tossing with tongs for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and created a lovely glaze around the noodles.
8. Season to taste with the tamari or soy sauce.Serve scattered with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
