Ingredients

For the Sauce:

⅓ cup soy sauce
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1-2 tablespoons chilli sauce gochujang

For the Beef:

1 tablespoon canola oil
500 grams beef mince
1 teaspoon cornflour
1 teaspoon chilli flakes
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice
1 tablespoon soy sauce

For the Noodles:

300 grams dried instant noodles
1 red capsicum thinly sliced

Instructions

Combine the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and chilli sauce in a jar. Shake well to mix. Set aside.
Boil a large pot of water. Add the noodles and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
Heat the canola oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef mince, cornflour, chilli flakes, Chinese five spice, and soy sauce. Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the beef is dark and crispy. Remove the beef from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the oil behind.
In the same pan, add the sliced red capsicum. Sauté until the capsicum is soft.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the capsicum. Pour in the sauce and toss everything well to combine.
Divide the noodles between bowls. Top with the cooked beef. Garnish with spring onions and chilli oil if desired.
