Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp chilli sauce with garlic (we used Lingham’s)
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 lemongrass stick, outer leaves discarded and finely chopped
  • 4cm piece fresh ginger, grated
  • Splash vegetable oil
  • 1 head broccoli, separated into florets, stalk sliced

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix together the chilli and soy sauces, lime juice, lemongrass, ginger and a good grinding of black pepper.
  2. Heat a splash of oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the broccoli, then stir-fry over a high heat until tender and slightly charred.
  3. Meanwhile, soak the noodles in a large bowl of boiling water. Drain and run under cold water to stop them sticking.
  4. Add the lamb (see tip) to the wok/pan with the broccoli, then stir-fry until hot. Stir in the sauce, then heat through for 1 minute. Add the noodles and toss to coat in the sauce, adding a little water if needed. Serve garnished with chopped coriander.

  1. Make it veggie: instead of leftover lamb, add frozen edamame beans and/or cubes of marinated tofu to the stir-fry.
