Preparation
Boil the noodles & string beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stem ends of the string beans; cut into 1-inch pieces. Add the noodles to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 5 to 7 min., until al dente. In the final 2 to 3 min., add the string beans. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the beef
Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef*, onions and garlic; season with the spices. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
Make the stir-fry
To the pan of beef, add the noodles and string beans, the vinegar, soy sauce and ½ the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
Divide the stir-fry between your bowls. Garnish with the cashews. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
