Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the wholemeal noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them thoroughly and set aside.

Heat half of the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until browned. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.

Wipe out the wok if necessary, then add the remaining oil. Sauté the chopped red onion and ginger until they begin to soften. If the aromatics start to stick, add a small splash of water, cover, and cook for 2–3 minutes.

Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic to the wok. Fry for approximately 3 minutes until the mushrooms soften, then toss in the beansprouts and cook for another minute until everything is piping hot.

In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, brown rice vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of water to create the sauce.
