steak miso broccoli stir-fry method
Just before you cook the main dish cook the noodles following the pack instructions.
Heat a large frying pan or wok on a very hot heat, add the oil and wait till its smoking hot before adding the steak strips. Fry moving the meat fast around the pan with a wok stirrer until cooked to your liking (only 1-2 minutes for medium rare) remove from the pan.
Working fast and stirring rapidly, add the mushrooms and cook until just golden, stir in the garlic and ginger, cook for a few seconds.
Stir in the broccoli and spring onions, move rapidly around the pan to pick up all the flavours. Pour the water on to the miso paste and stir until smooth. Add to the wok along with five spice powder and soy sauce to taste. Cook until the broccoli is just tender. Stir in the beef, cooked noodles, and the sesame oil.
Serve immediately.
