Method

  1. Boil the noodles following pack instructions, adding the green beans for the final 2 mins. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin, lime juice and chilli sauce. In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil, then fry the mince until nicely browned. Add the garlic and fry for 1 min more. Stir in the hoisin mixture and cook for a few mins more until sticky. Finally, stir in the noodles, beans and half the spring onions to heat through. Scatter over the remaining spring onions to serve.

    Absolutely delicious, easy to prepare with minimal washing up. Perfect for a quick & easy supper. I used a small red onion instead of spring onions.worked well.

    A nice recipe. I found it to be a little too limey so I will probably use a bit less next time. The family enjoyed it though and it was very low fat!

    I think hoi sin sauce is so yummy that adding lime and chilli to it is a bit of a waste. I was not sure which type of chilli sauce to use, I can tell you that one tablespoon of tabasco is WAY TOO MUCH heat!

    Fantastic dish. So easy and quick to cook yet packed with flavour. Filling comfort food and healthy too! Although not listed on any hoisin sauce I have purchased I have found it to be freezable - most packets / bottles recommend ditching after being opened for a few days

    Superb dish, the only changes i made was I added broccoli as i had no green beans, no chillis added either. This was a big hit in my house, will do again.

    I substituted prawns for the turkey mince and it worked very well. The finished dish was lovely especially with the green beans.

    This was horrible! The turkey mince just became a pulp like mixture and didn't brown up in the wok. The hoision mix with chilli and lime didn't work for us and we ended up binning it.

    Made this tonight, it was really tasty and quick, was disappointed when I went into the fridge and I didn't have any chilli sauce so I added a little tabasco and a soy sauce to the hoisin and lime, it was yummy, I love noodle dishes!

    So easy & a hit with my guy who can be fussy especially if there are noodles (pasta) around.Though having Ramen Noodles (loved the film) used Amoy - the garlic & chilli I think.Simple & lovely.

    really yummy - I used turkey strips sliced really thin and added some thin sliced carrots with the beans. I liked the idea of the broccoli too. Thanks for the tip about freezing the Hoi Sin sauce!
