Chilli Beef Noodles

What is it?

Beef pieces sit in a chilli sauce with egg noodles, packaged as a frozen meal for heating from chilled or frozen. It's built around a savoury sauce rather than a broth, so the noodles come coated instead of soupy. Beef and sauce do most of the work here, and this version in the range sits alongside other straightforward noodle dishes. Expect a mix of sauce, sliced or chopped beef, and soft noodles once warmed through. Chilli heat is moderate rather than fiery, sitting closer to a stir-fry style than a proper Sichuan level of spice. Noodles tend to absorb the sauce as they heat, so giving everything a good stir halfway through cooking helps keep the texture even throughout the tray.
