No-Fuss Beef Strips Mie Goreng

Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil for the noodles. Halve the cucumber widthwise, then cut into thin batons. Shred the carrot using a julienne peeler or coarsely grate with a box grater. Separate the beef stir-fry. Combine 2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp honey and 1 tbs water in a bowl.

Cook the noodles in the pan of boiling water for 2 mins or until tender. Drain, then rinse under hot water to prevent the noodles from sticking.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a a large deep frypan over high heat until very hot (see Cooking tip). Stir-fry the beef for 1-2 mins until browned. Remove from the pan. Add the carrot and nasi goreng paste (see Make it milder) to the pan and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until tender. Add the beef, noodles and sauce mixture and stir to combine. Remove from the heat.

Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a small frypan over medium heat. Crack 2 eggs into the pan and cook for 3-4 mins until just set or cooked to your liking. Remove the pan from the heat.

Divide the beef noodles and cucumber among bowls. Top with the fried eggs and scatter over the fried shallots. Enjoy!

Nasi goreng paste gives a lovely flavour to the dish but it does have a chilli kick. If you don't like too much heat, reduce by half or to taste.
