  1. PAD THAI SAUCE

    In a bowl, combine the Pad Thai base, the peanut butter, the grated garlic (to taste), ½ the chilli flakes (to taste), the lemon juice (to taste), 10ml of sweetener (to taste), and 50ml of water. Set aside.

  2. ALL TOGETHER NOW!

    Place a pan or wok over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion slices until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the sliced green beans and fry until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the sliced cabbage and the grated carrot. Fry until slightly softened but still crunchy, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Pour in the Pad Thai sauce. Loosen with a splash of water if too thick. Remove from the heat and season.

  3. OSTRICH

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  4. NO TO NOODLES, YES TO YUM!

    Plate up the noodle-less stir-fry and top with the ostrich slices. Sprinkle over the chopped peanuts and the remaining chilli flakes (to taste). Dive in!
