Notes for the cook

If you have a fan-assisted oven then reduce the specified temperature in the recipe by about 15%.

1 teaspoon = 5ml

1 tablespoon = 15ml.

Some ingredients are measured in cups and some equivalents are;

150g, 6oz (1/2 cup) = 120ml, 4fl oz.

Instructions
  1. Simmer the soy sauce, honey, ginger, vinegar and garlic in a small saucepan until a glaze forms (1-2 minutes), then set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the beef and brown on all sides (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat, pat dry with paper towels, brush generously with soy glaze (you won’t use all of it), then place in a freezer to chill for 8-10 minutes.
  3. For the soba, cook soba according to packet instructions until al dente, adding peas in at the last minute, then rinse under cold running water. Drain well, then combine in a bowl with the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cucumber and spring onion. Toss to combine, then divide among four bowls.
  4. To serve, thinly slice the beef, pile on top of the noodles and scatter with spring onion, sesame seeds and any remaining soy glaze to taste.
