Who doesn't love a stir fry! This recipe was created by another foodie buddy I recently made. Simply Monique has the purest soul, funny, is just as overdramatic as me and to top it off an amazing cook! Using The Black Stuff Monique made this tantalising number which has the perfect balance of heat and flavour.

udon noodles (600g pack)
2 ½ tsp cooking wine

Drop a small amount of garlic and ginger into the oil (for added flavour)
Add the meat strips and leave to brown
Start thinly slicing your vegetables
Stir the meat to ensure that all parts of it has been cooked
Once you are sure there’s no longer any pink, you can remove the meat from the pot and set aside
Add 1 tbsp oil to the wok and the sliced veggies before leaving to sauté for a few minutes
In a bowl place the noodles in some cold water to separate (you can do this manually if you prefer)
Once the veggies have sweated and still have a slight crunch you can add the meat back to the pot
Begin to season (salt, black pepper, oyster sauce, cooking vinegar, soy sauce)
In a cup vigorously mix cornflour and water together
Then add the noodles to the wok and stir everything in
Add the cornflour mixture and remaining water
Then leave to cook for a further 5 minutes
Take a fork and taste test it, if you love it remove it from the fire
Finally enjoy!
