Preparation
1
Cook the noodles

  • Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water.
  • Cook sweet potato noodles over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a fork to separate, until tender, 4-6 minutes.
  • Drain, rinse and return to saucepan with the sesame oil, tossing to coat.

2
Get prepped

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot and capsicum into sticks.
  • Finely chop garlic.
  • Roughly chop spring onion.
  • In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, gochujang, the soy sauce, brown sugar and water.
  • In a medium bowl, combine beef strips, sweet soy seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.

3
Cook the beef

  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
  • When oil is hot, cook pork strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.

4
Cook the veggies

  • Wipe out frying pan and return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Cook carrot and capsicum until tender, 4-5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium then add garlic and spring onion and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Bring it all together

  • To pan with veggies, add cooked beef strips, baby spinach leaves, noodles and oyster sauce mixture, tossing to combine, 1 minute. Season with pepper.

6
Finish & serve

  • Sprinkle over sesame seeds to garnish. Enjoy!
