About the Recipe

This is one of my favourite dishes at Chinese kopitiams! My friend taught me this recipe because it's hard to get halal Hokkien Noodles here in the UK. The trick to perfecting this dish is to braise the noodles on low heat until it is soft and the sauce is shiny.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 500g beef, cut into small cubes

  • 1 tbsp cumin powder

  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 large red onion, diced finely

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced

  • 1 orange bell pepper, diced

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tbsp oil


Preparation

  1. Combine the diced beef, minced garlic, cumin, salt and lemon juice in a large bowl. Let beef marinate for 30 minutes or longer.

  2. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the beef until tender. Add in the onions, bell peppers and paprika. Fry till the vegetables are soft.

  3. Serve on top of nachos or as a filling for burrito and tacos.


We love having these on our movie nights because everyone can do their own thing. My daughter served the Beef Fajitas with little taco bowls, guacamole, corn & tomato relish and some Cotija cheese on the side!
