2. 2

   Step 2: Heat the oil in a large, deep 30 cm / 12-inch pan over high heat, or use a large pot. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until no red remains. Add the sauce and cook until it coats the beef well.

   Tip: The broccoli will cook through in the next step.

   Step 4: Add the water. When it starts bubbling, push in the noodles, breaking the cakes in half along the direction of the noodles so they fit more easily. Leave for 30 seconds, then turn the noodles. Leave for another 30 seconds, then toss with two spatulas or tongs until softened and the sauce has been absorbed, about 2–3 minutes. If the noodles need a little longer, add a bit more water.
