Each week, we search the country to source the best produce, with a focus on seasonality, quality, and variety. This week's snow peas were not up to our quality standards so we've replaced them with Asian greens. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious!

3 clove
garlic
2 bunch
Asian Greens
1 unit
capsicum
1 unit
carrot
1 knob
ginger
1 packet
beef strips
2 tub
sweet chilli sauce
1 packet
udon noodles
(Contains Gluten; )
olive oil
¼ cup
soy sauce
(Contains Gluten, Soy; )
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Finely grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely grate the ginger. Place the beef strips in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce. Pour 3 tbs of the ginger-sweet chilli sauce mixture over the beef strips, toss to coat and set aside to marinate. TIP: If you have the time, allow the beef to marinate for at least 10 minutes to add flavour and increase tenderness.
While the beef is marinating, add the udon noodles to the boiling water and cook until just tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water.
While the noodles are cooking, thinly slice the red capsicum into strips. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into discs. Roughly chop the Asian greens.
In a large wok or frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Once the oil is hot, add 1/2 the beef strips and cook until browned, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining beef. TIP: Cooking the beef in batches helps it stay tender and stops it stewing.
Return the large wok or pan to a high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the capsicum and carrot and stir-fry until just tender, 2-3 minutes. Add the udon noodles, Asian greens and beef strips and cook until heated through, 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the remaining ginger-sweet chilli sauce mixture.
Divide the sweet chilli beef and noodle stir-fry between bowls.
