Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients and have equipment ready.

For the Noodles:

  • Place the udon noodles in a large heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water to cover. Let them sit for 1–2 minutes, gently separate with tongs, then drain and set aside.

For the Stir-Fry Sauce:

  • Whisk together the cornflour, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine and freshly cracked black pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.

For the Beef:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok or large deep frying pan over high heat. Season the sliced beef with a pinch of salt and pepper, then stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just browned. Remove the beef from the pan and keep aside.

For the Stir-Fry:

  • Add the remaining oil to the hot wok. Stir-fry the onion and red and green capsicum for 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the crushed garlic and grated ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Return the beef to the wok along with the drained noodles and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes, tossing constantly, until everything is glossy, evenly coated and heated through.

To Serve:

  • Divide among plates or bowls and scatter over the sliced green shallots and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
