This minced beef noodles recipe is a bit of a fusion dish. It’s kind of like a homemade Chinese beef chow mein, but the addition of Sriracha and Kecap Manis sauces plus lime and coriander bring Thai-style flavours into the mix.

These beef mince noodles are really quick to make, as long as you cut the carrot into the smallest, thinnest sticks possible. To be honest I don’t normally use frozen mince, but it works so well here as the texture is just right with the noodles. Half a bag is usually 250g, so there’s some left for next time.

If you don’t have quite the right sauces for this beef mince noodle stir fry it doesn’t really matter. Use soy sauce in place of Kecap Manis, or use all sweet chilli or Sriracha sauce instead of some of each. It won’t make a huge difference and will still be yummy! Likewise, fresh garlic or ginger is fine to add in place of the pastes.

This minced beef and noodles dish is also flavoured by a couple of the ingredients added at the end – coriander and lime. I add the coriander before the end of cooking, but you can scatter it over the top if you prefer. As for the lime, wedges served on the side to squeeze over gives these beef mince stir fry noodles a Pad Thai type twist.
