🛒 Ingredients
For the Crispy Beef:
- 400g sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1 egg white
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tbsp Honey Chilli seasoning
For the Noodles & Toppings:
- ½ red bell pepper, sliced
- ½ green bell pepper, sliced
- 300g cooked egg noodles
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- Fresh red chilli, sliced (optional, for heat)
- Spring onions, sliced (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Coat the Beef
In a mixing bowl, combine the steak strips with egg white, making sure they’re well coated. Add cornflour and Honey Chilli seasoning, tossing until evenly covered. This coating is what gives the beef its irresistible crunch!
2. Air Fry to Crispy Perfection
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Place the coated beef in the basket in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Air fry for 8–10 minutes, giving the basket a shake halfway through to ensure even cooking.
3. Glaze the Beef
Once crispy, drizzle over the honey and soy sauce. Toss to coat the beef, then return to the air fryer for 2 more minutes to let the glaze get sticky and delicious.
4. Stir-Fry the Noodles
In a hot pan or wok, stir-fry the cooked noodles with your sliced red and green peppers. Add a splash of soy and honey if you like things saucy!
5. Assemble and Serve
Plate up your noodles and top with the glazed crispy beef. Finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, sliced chilli (for a little fire), and fresh spring onions.
