Teriyaki Noodles and Broccoli

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 20 mins | Quantity: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 head broccoli – cut into small florets
  • 30ml (2 tablespoons) dark soy sauce or tamari
  • 120ml (1/2 cup) pineapple juice
  • 30ml (2 tablespoons brandy)
  • 4 cloves garlic – peeled and crushed
  • small piece of fresh ginger – peeled and minced or grated
  • 2 packs straight to wok noodles

Instructions

  1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry wok - keep an eye on them and toss the pan often - until they're light golden brown. Tip into a bowl
  2. Add 1 teaspoon sesame oil to the wok along with the broccoli and cook over a fairly high heat until just charred. Add 120ml (1/2 cup) water and bubble until the broccoli is softer but still has some crunch. Tip into a bowl
  3. Add the rest of the sesame oil to the wok along with the pineapple juice, brandy, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and sugar. Bubble over a high heat until reduced a little
  4. Add the noodles and let them sit in the sauce for a minute then gently break the noodles up, stirring well so they're completely coated in the sauce.
  5. Reserve a pinch of the toasted sesame seeds then add the rest to the wok along with the broccoli and stir well
  6. Transfer to warmed bowls and top with the reserved sesame seeds
