    So back on track, Taking On Jamie.
    An Asian style dish. Great flavours and we did this one in just over 15 minutes
    As usual I got everything ready. All utensils and ingredients lined up and Pans on stove
    Plus a jug of boiling water ready to cook the Noodles
    Be aware All this preparation actually adds 5 minutes or so to the time
    But we did well I think
    My Grandson Joseph loved it, in fact it has been requested for Grandma's Dinner next week
    For 4 people

    Handful cashews
    Same amount of sesame seeds
    2 pieces Sirloin steak, fat removed for speed
    Salt and Pepper

    Sesame oil

    250 gms mushrooms, broken up

    Egg noodles, 4 nests

    Meanwhile lets get onto the Noodles
    First make the base for the noodles
    Add the chili, ginger and coriander to the food processor and whiz
    till makes a nice paste
    Add noodles to a pot and cover with boiling water
