NOODLES
Bring a pot of water to a boil for the noodles. Cook the noodles until separated and pliable, 1-2 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
NUTS
Place the cashews in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Deglaze the pan with the honey-soy and simmer until evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
BEEF
Return the pan wiped down to medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. Pat the beef strips dry with paper towel, add to a bowl, add the rub & flour, and toss to combine. When hot, fry the strips until browned, 30-60 seconds per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.
LOADED NOODLES
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the grated garlic, crushed black peppercorns (to taste), and the grated ginger, fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the sweet tomato soy glaze and 50ml of water. Simmer until slightly thickening, 2-3 minutes. Mix in the cooked beef strips, the noodles, and the shredded spinach. Mix to combine, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season.
