Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Cook the eggs in a pan of boiling water for 6 mins; drain and plunge into a bowl of ice-cold water. Peel and discard the shells, then place the eggs in a food bag or lidded container with the soy sauce, turning to coat. Seal the bag and chill for 2-4 hrs.

  2. Step 2

    Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions, drain and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, chillies, red onion, greens and most of the salad onion, stir-fry for 2-3 mins until softened and fragrant, then add the beef and cook for 1 min more.

  4. Step 4

    Add the remaining 1tbsp soy sauce, the oyster and fish sauces and the brown sugar, then tip in the noodles and toss to coat in the mixture

  5. Step 5

    Divide the noodles between 2 bowls. Drain the eggs, then slice in half and divide between bowls. Sprinkle with lime zest and the remaining salad onion. Finish with a scattering of chilli, if you dare.
