Method

  1. Whisk the harissa, honey, soy and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat, then add the onion and fry for 5 mins until just turning lightly golden. Stir in the green beans and pepper and fry for another 5-8 mins until the veg is tender.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the noodles for 2-3 mins until just tender and drain. Toss with 1 tsp sesame oil to stop them sticking together.
  3. Stir the garlic and ginger into the vegetables and fry for 1 min until fragrant, then add the lamb and the harissa sauce. Fry for 2-4 mins until heated through, then toss in the cooked noodles. Toss everything together, and scatter with the sesame seeds to serve.
