2 teaspoon peanut butter
1 teaspoon red thai curry paste use more or less depending on the spice strength of your curry paste
¼ teaspoon sugar
½ tablespoon light soy sauce
½ tablespoon rice wine vinegar
½ tablespoon sesame oil

Place a skillet or frying pan on medium heat and drizzle with ½ tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add in the ground beef and break apart using a wooden spoon. Fry for 5 minutes, then add in the sliced garlic and soy sauce. Stir to combine and fry for a further 5-10 minutes until the beef has browned and is cooked through.
Meanwhile, get your two bowls and add the following to each bowl: 2 teaspoons peanut butter, 1 teaspoon red thai curry paste (double this amount if your curry paste isn't that spicy), ¼ teaspoon sugar, ½ tablespoon light soy sauce, ½ tablespoon rice wine vinegar, and ½ tablespoon sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until a saucy paste forms in each bowl.
Cook your noodles to packet instructions. Then drain, ready to serve (make sure to keep some of that noodle water!!).
Once your beef and noodles are ready, add 1 tablespoon of noodle water to each bowl and stir to combine and loosen the paste. Next up, divide the noodles between the two bowls. Top each bowl with the fried ground beef and finely chopped cilantro/coriander.
Combine thoroughly until the noodles, beef, and cilantro/coriander are coated in the sauce. Enjoy!
