Preparation

Step 1

To prepare your stir-fry
Trim any excess fat from your steak and slice the meat into finger-sized strips. Peel and finely slice the ginger and garlic
Finely slice the chile. Cut the ends off your scallions and finely slice. Pick the cilantro leaves and put to one side, and finely chop the cilantro stalks. Get yourself a big bowl and put in the ginger, garlic, chile, scallions, cilantro stalks, and steak strips. Add the sesame oil and mix everything together.

To cook your stir-fry
Preheat a wok or large frying pan on a high heat and once it’s very, very hot add a good lug of peanut oil and swirl it around. Add all your chopped ingredients from the bowl. Give the pan a really good shake to mix everything around quickly. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, taking care to keep everything moving so
doesn’t burn. Add the black bean sauce, and stir in 2 tablespoon of soy sauce and the juice of a lime. Keep tossing. Taste and season with black pepper and a little more soy sauce. Remove the pan from the heat, transfer everything to a bowl, and cover with aluminum foil. Give the pan a quick wipe with
ball of paper towels and put back on the heat. Add a lug of peanut oil and swirl it around. Crack in your eggs and add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce - the eggs will cook very quickly, so keep stirring. Once it’s scrambled, stir in your chilled noodles, scraping the sides and the bottom of the pan as you go. Keep mixing for a few minutes until the noodles are steaming hot, then taste and season with a little soy sauce.

To serve your stir-fry
Divide the stir fry between four bowls or plates. Sprinkle over the cilantro leaves. Top with generous amount of bean sprouts. Serve with wedges of lime — great!
