Ingredients
– 500 g (1.1 lb) diced beef
– 4 cloves garlic, crushed
– 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
– 8 tbsp reduced salt soy sauce
– 5 tbsp oyster sauce
– 6 tbsp runny honey
– 6 tbsp tomato ketchup
– 150 ml (0.75 cups) boiling water for slow cooker base
– 300 ml (1.25 cups) boiling water for finishing
– 250 g (9 oz) dried egg noodles, uncooked
– 1 green pepper, sliced
– 160 g (6 oz) sugar snap peas, halved
– Spring onions, chopped for serving
– 1-2 tbsp sesame seeds for serving
Instructions
1-First, combine the diced beef, crushed garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, ketchup, and 150 ml boiling water in the slow cooker. Stir everything well to mix the flavors evenly. This step sets the base for a rich, savory sauce that infuses the beef as it cooks.
2-Next, cook on HIGH for 3.5 hours or on LOW for 5.5 hours until the beef is tender and juicy. This slow process allows the meat to absorb all the delicious seasonings. Keep an eye on it towards the end to ensure perfect texture.
3-Then, add the remaining 300 ml boiling water, dried egg noodles, sliced green pepper, and halved sugar snap peas to the slow cooker. Give it a good stir to blend the ingredients. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring a few times, until the noodles are just right.
4-Finally, serve your dish topped with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds for a fresh, crunchy finish.
