Mongolian barbecue

A buffet where you build your own bowl of meat, vegetables and noodles, then the cook stir-fries them over very high heat on a round griddle with a sauce of your choice. Born in restaurants in Taiwan and America, it is sociable and very customisable.

Instructions

  1. Prepare all the ingredients in advance and arrange them by colour in bowls, as the cooking is quick.
  2. Mix the soy sauce, sugar, water and sesame oil in a small bowl.
  3. Boil the noodles for 2 minutes in salted water, drain them and rinse them under cold water.
  4. Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat with a little oil, then sear the meat for 2 minutes and set it aside.
  5. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 20 seconds, then add the firm vegetables (carrot, onion, pepper) for 2 minutes, followed by the rest of the vegetables and the sprouts.
  6. Return the meat and noodles, pour in the sauce and stir for 1 minute until everything is piping hot and glossy. Serve straight away.

Variations and tips

Vegan version. Replace the meat with firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes, and seared before the vegetables.
