    Method

    1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan, add the onion and red pepper and fry for 2 minutes.
    2. Add the beef mince and fry for 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
    3. Add the udon noodles with 150ml water and the paste from the flavour kit. Mix well until evenly combined and cook for 2 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through.
    4. Pour the cooked noodles into a bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and fry the eggs until the white is opaque and yolk is runny.
    5. Serve the noodles topped with a fried egg and drizzled with the seasoning sauce from the flavour kit. Garnish with the fresh coriander, red chillies and spring onions, if you like.
    • Simple swaps: Swap the udon noodles for egg noodles, add in veggies of your choice, or make it vegetarian by swapping the beef mince for a meat-free alternative.
