Instruction

  • Prepare the beef: Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat for 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef turns brown. Add light and dark soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, brown sugar and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes to evenly coat the beef with the seasoning and to allow the flavour to infuse into the beef.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and place wheat noodles inside. Lower heat to medium and boil for 2 minutes, or according to package instructions. Stir occasionally so the noodles don’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove noodles with a pasta strainer and set aside. Then blanch cook the bok choy by dipping them into the boiling water for 10 seconds.
  • To make the spicy chili sauce, mix together all the sauce ingredients (tahini, black vinegar, light soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sugar, and peppercorn powder). Stir well to combine.
  • Divide the noodles into 2 bowls. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of sauce over top. Add cooked ground beef and boy choy. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and green onions. Mix well to fully coat the noodles with the sauce.
