Fast and full of vibrant flavours, this will become a favourite. I predict you'll be eating this once a week when you've tried it. And if you becomed bored with egg noodles, try any of the 'straight to wok' types, or choose rice noodles for a gluten-free meal.

Instructions

Step 1

Melt the coconut oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Add the star anise and leave to infuse the oil for 30 seconds, then remove. Add the chilli, garlic, spring onions and lemongrass and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the steak and stir-fry for a further 1-2 minutes until the beef is almost cooked.

Step 2

Tumble in the noodles, along with a couple of tablespoons of water - this will create steam, helping to separate and warm the egg noodles. Toss everything together until you are satisfied that the beef is cooked and the noodles are warmed through.

Step 3

Remove from the heat, add the fish sauce, coriander and lime juice, then serve up.
