125g fine egg noodles (2 nests)
4 tbsp groundnut or vegetable oil
200g sirloin steak
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
3 tbsp oyster sauce
2 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
4 salad onions, trimmed
250g kale
50g cashew
1 tsp cornflour

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and cook the noodles for 4 minutes, then drain and cool under cold running water. Toss with 1 tbsp groundnut or vegetable oil and set aside. Meanwhile, cut the steak into 0.5cm slices, season and put in a mixing bowl with the soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce and garlic; set aside.
Cut the salad onions into 2cm lengths. Remove and discard the woody kale stalks and roughly chop the leaves. Put a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat, then toast the cashews for a few minutes until lightly golden; set aside on a plate. Return the pan to the hob, turn up the heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Fr y the salad onions and kale for 5 minutes until charred and lightly cooked; transfer to a plate. Bring a kettle to the boil. Put the pan back on the hob, add the remaining 2 tbsp oil and the marinated steak, leaving the marinade in the bowl. Cook the steak for 3 minutes over a high heat until browned on all surfaces.
Meanwhile, stir the cornflour into the bowl with the marinade and add 3 tbsp just-boiled water. Return the cashews, kale and salad onions to the pan and pour in the steak marinade. Stir fry for 2 more minutes, then stir in the noodles. Fry for 2-3 minutes more, adding a splash more boiling water if needed, until everything is piping hot, glossy and coated. Serve straight away.
