'Pyo Pyo Noodles'

Hi all! Another blog is on.....

Funny, I'm not sure how many of you are actually are trying these recipes or ideas, but it's really great fun never the less.

This week I'm yet again going for a not as healthy as recent blogs, but it's a heck more healthier than a takeaway and probably better in my opinion too!

This week I've gone for an Asian dish and therefore a former Asian player......and that play is Lee Young Pyo, obviously he's South Korean. But this dish is Chinese inspired? I don't know any South Korean dishes I'm afraid.....I'll look some up though lol

The recipe is my take on a dish called 'Dan Dan Noodles' is it authentic to the original? How would I know, anyway here's what you'll need.....

Oh yeah his should feed four people...........



500g of beef mince (12% fat minimum)
2 table spoons of honey
A good amount of Szechuan Pepper
A clove of garlic
A good handful of Spinach, Chinese cabbage, Pok Choi and Broccoli (any combination you like....shredded roughly)
A red chilli
Dark Soy sauce
Fish Sauce
Coriander
A lime
One beef or vegetable stock cube
Chestnut Mushrooms or a variety
Spring Onions
4 portions of dried wheat noodles

OK, get a non stick pan or wok on some heat and throw on the mince (you might not need oil as the beef will be fatty, drain the fat as you go)....do this in batches if you have to!
We want to get the mince really gnarly so it's like crumbs....(don't worry I haven't gone mad) once we are on this stage chuck a dash of fish sauce and throw in the garlic and chop this up quite a bit, once it hits the heat you'll smell this! And then the honey! Stir this about and leave aside!

Next stage:

Get your shredded greens, mushrooms and the noodles ready. Throw in the stock cube.....(use fresh if you can make it yourself or afford it?) and then bring to a simmer......and throw the lot in!
This should take 2-3 minutes!



Once it's done......

Just serve up the noodles, greens and mushrooms......into bowl and throw on the pepper.....(this is poky stuff I warn you! And try little at a time) And then scatter on the crispy beef, be generous with the chilli oil and other garnishes see how you feel and don't forget the lime!

Here's how mine looks.........yours I'm sure will be better........so let me know what you think??? @martin_harte



Anyway here is a bit of Mr Pyo.........


Thanks again guys.....be in touch soon!!

This is a great competition too, what they do is give you three ingredients and you have to come up with a dish which shows them off and this will really motivate your cooking too.
