🔪 Stir-Fry Mastery: The 4 Simple Steps 🍜

1. Noodle Prep: The Saltwater Spa 🛁

Cook the Chinese noodles in salted boiling water for about 5 minutes, or according to the instructions on the packet, until tender, stirring regularly to separate the strands. Drain them in a sieve, rinse with cold water, and drain well.

2. The Great Wok Sizzle 🔥

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium heat. Stir-fry the broccoli for 5–6 minutes or until just softened. Then, add the crushed garlic and cashews and continue to fry for 1 minute more. Get ready for those delicious aromas!

3. Magic Sauce Time ✨

Add the chilli flakes, honey, and soy sauce. Bring it up to a simmer and cook for about 1 minute, or just until the sauce reduces and thickens a little.

4. Toss, Plate, and Shine! 🥢

Toss, Plate, and Shine! 🥢 Add the well-drained noodles and toss everything together to coat every strand in that honey-soy goodness. Divide the mixture between bowls and squeeze over a little lime juice. Serve with an extra pinch of chilli if desired.
