Beef and shiitake chow mein

1. 1

   Cut the sirloin steak across into thin slices. Put the slices in a bowl, sprinkle over the cornflour and white pepper, then mix well. Add 2 tablespoons of water, the oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon of the sunflower oil.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl mix the sauce ingredients together with 100ml/3½fl oz water and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the noodles following the pack instructions and drain well. Heat about 100ml/3½fl oz of the oil in a pan and when hot, add the drained noodles and fry them until crispy. Remove from the pan using tongs and keep warm.

4. 4

   Add the remaining oil to the pan and stir-fry the beef over a high heat until cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Add the vegetables, mushrooms, garlic and ginger and continue to stir-fry for a couple of minutes, then add the sauce and allow it to bubble and thicken.

5. 5

   Divide the noodles between four bowls and pour the steak mixture over them to be mixed with chopsticks by the diner. Serve topped with the sliced spring onions.
