Ground Beef & Cabbage Noodles

So incredibly quick and delicious, I've made this twice in the past few weeks and I can't wait to make it again. It's really a satisfying meal, and it takes no more than fifteen minutes providing you start with ready made noodles, or at least make those first. I've just discovered a completely pre-cooked noodle which kind of sounds like something unnecessary, but really is nice to have at hand in the cupboard at times like this. You could definitely use rice instead of noodles, or some kind of pasta - if you have some leftovers, that's ideal.

Ground Beef & Cabbage Noodles
Serves 2

200 g ground beef
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tbsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, grated
5-6 cm fresh ginger, grated
2 carrots, thinly sliced
2-300 ml fresh cabbage, shredded (older winter cabbage will work too, just let it cook a little longer.)
2-3 tbsp Japanese soy sauce
handful of alfalfa sprouts
salt, chili, more five-spice powder

ready-cooked noodles

Brown the minced meat with oyster sauce, five-spice and sugar until it's cooked through and starting to brown well. Add onions, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for a few minutes. Add carrots and cabbage, and fry for a few minutes longer. Add soy sauce, the sprouts and the noodles, and season with salt, chilli and some more five-spice. Serve with sriracha sauce, for those that want to spice things up!
