Korean Beef Noodle Bowls

-

Perfect for weeknight dinners, this recipe is a simple way to enjoy the flavours of Korean barbecue at home. Made easy by using beef mince instead of the traditiona­l strips of meat, it tastes a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy and a whole lot delicious.

500g beef mince

4 large garlic cloves, crushed

2 tablespoon­s finely grated fresh ginger 3 tablespoon­s dark soy sauce

2 tablespoon­s soft brown sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons chilli sauce (I use Sriracha), plus

extra to serve

TO SERVE

Cooked noodles or rice

3 spring onions, thinly sliced Chopped fresh coriander 2 tablespoon­s toasted sesame seeds Kimchi
