  • Top and tail the onion, then peel it and cut it into 8 wedges.
  • Remove the stalk from the cabbage and finely shred what's left as thin as you can.
  • Cut the carrot into 3-4cm (1½") batons as thin as you can.
  • Peel and slice the garlic as thinly as you can.
  • Trim the steak of fat and sinew, then slice it across the grain into 2-3mm thick bite-sized strips.
  • Prepare the noodles according to the packet instructions, then refresh them in cold water.
  • Season the beef with the salt and white pepper.

    Remove the beef and return the wok to the hob.

  • Push the ingredients to the side of the wok and pour in the prepared sauce. Once the sauce begins to boil, which should happen very quickly, toss the ingredients through the sauce.

  • Drain the noodles and add them to the wok, stir and cook for as long as it takes to heat them through, which should take no longer than 1 minute.
