Method
Ground beef stir-fry ingredients are ready to cook
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes or until al dente. Drain the noodles and immediately rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain the noodles again and set them aside.
In a bowl, combine water, soy sauce, honey, cornflour, and sesame oil.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Stir in the seasonings (black pepper, chilli powder, ground ginger, and Chinese five spice).
Mix everything together and set aside for later use.
Peel and cut the onion into wedges, the pepper into sticks, and the carrot into thin slices.
