This started out as a ready meal from Iceland, the healthy ones have the recipe printed in the sleeve. I've adapted it slightly, it's a bit less healthy but so yummy it's worth it.

Steps

1

First, start the sauce; throw the fresh ginger, garlic and de-seeded chilli in to a mini chopper, blender or use a pestle and mortar to make a paste.
2

Fry the paste for a minute or two before adding the stock cube, tomato puree and marmite. Add 300ml of cold water, bring to the boil and then simmer for 10 minutes.
3

While the sauce is reducing, cut the steak in to thin strips and fry until nicely browned. Put on a plate to one side to rest.
4

Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions. The noodles I use take 4-5 minutes in boiling water taken off the heat.
5

Next cook the veg. Stir fry for a few minutes until suitably floppy but firm. I like to use 150g of beansprouts, 150g of sugar snap peas and a 300g bag of mixed stir fry veg with edemame beans and butternut squash.
6

Finish the sauce once the ten minutes are up by adding the vinegar, soy and sugar. Stir in until the sugar is dissolved.
7

Finally, mix the noodles, beef and sauce in to the veg and heat through for a couple of minutes more so that it's all combined nicely. Serve in a big bowl with chopsticks.
