Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:

Cut the stalk end off the courgette. Using half the courgette, make ribbons by running a peeler the full length along the courgette, rotating after each peel. Trim the woody ends off the broccolini and cut into bite sized pieces. Finely chop the spring onion on the diagonal.
2. TO COOK THE VEGETABLES:

Spray a non-stick frying pan or wok with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Once hot add the broccolini and cook for 1-2 mins. Add the kumara noodles and cook for 1-2 mins. Add the edamame and continue to cook for a further 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat into a salad bowl and pour over half the sesame dressing, tossing to combine.
3. TO COOK THE FIVE SPICE BEEF:

Wipe out the pan, respray with oil and place back over a high heat. Once hot, add the beef mince breaking up any large clumps and cook for 4-5 mins until starting to caramelise around the edges. Pour in the five spice sizzle sauce, add half the spring onion and cook for a further 1-2 mins until all the sauce has reduced.
TO SERVE:

Spoon the sesame vegetable noodles into a bowl and top with the five-spice beef. Sprinkle with toasted peanuts and remaining spring onion. Serve with extra sesame dressing on the side.
