Tips
- If you have dark soy on your hands, add 1-2 tbsp with the first half of hoisin to help the colour and caramelisation of the mince.
- The shredded cabbage and carrot in this dish are going to give the illusion that we have more noodles in this dish than we actually do.
- If there is too much cabbage, add it in batches. It will eventually sweat down into half the size.
