Notes

TIPS & NOTES:
  • Use extra lean beef mince (5% or lower) to keep this high-protein and lower in calories.
  • Don’t overcook the noodles, they should be slightly firm so they don’t go soft when tossed in the sauce.
  • Adjust the sauce consistency with a splash of hot water if it thickens too much.
  • Taste and adjust the spice level to your preference.
  • Add extra cabbage for more volume without adding many calories.
  • For extra flavour, add garlic or ginger when cooking the beef.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lime for freshness and balance.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
 
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your Spicy Peanut Butter Noodles will come out perfectly.
