Chinese Style Beef Stir Fry

This stir fry is a bit more expensive than some of my other recipes, but it is still so much cheaper than getting a takeaway. If you wanted to make it cheaper just swap the beef for chicken. Most of the ingredients usually come in packets with twice as much as you need for the recipe, so if you have it twice in one week you won't waste any food. Alternatively, make it for you and a friend. 

Serves 1

Ingredients:
1/2 a 400g packet of diced steak
1/2 a 400g packet of noodles
1/2 a 175 packet of beansprouts
6 pieces of baby corn (also usually half a packet! If you don't like baby corn use mushrooms)
2 spring onions
3 tablespoons of Hoisin Sauce (I use blue dragon)

Equipment:
Large frying pan or wok
Spatula
Knife
Chopping board

1) Cut baby corn pieces in half lengthways. Cut the spring onions in half lengthways then slice into 2cm chunks.
2) Heat oil in the frying pan on a meduim heat.
3) Add the beef and baby corn. Fry for 15 to 20 minutes. The beef should be brown and if you cut into a piece it should be pink. 
4) Add the beansprouts and sauce. Stir well. Cook for 2 more minuets.
5) Add the noodles and stir well. Cook for another minute.
