3 cm Knob Of Ginger
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Onion
3 Spring Onions
200 g Button Mushrooms
1 Tsp Baking Soda
50 g Walnuts
2 Tbsp Pesto Sauce
400 g Tagliatelle
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Method

1
In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Marinate the beef in this mixture for 10 minutes.
2
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add 1 tsp baking soda, and cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions, minus 2 minutes for an al dente texture. Drain and set aside.
3
In a dry pan, toast the walnuts over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool, then roughly chop them.
4
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a wok over high heat. Add the beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned but still slightly pink inside. Remove and set aside.
5
In the same wok, add another tbsp of olive oil and fry the yellow onion and red bell pepper for 3 minutes until softened.
6
Add the minced ginger, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms to the wok. Cook for another 4 minutes.
7
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water to create a slurry.
8
Add the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce and 200ml water to the wok, bring to a simmer, and then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
9
Toss the cooked tagliatelle in the wok with the sauce, ensuring the pasta is well-coated.
10
Stir in the beef and half of the toasted walnuts, mixing well.
11
Serve the pasta garnished with dollops of pesto sauce, the remaining toasted walnuts, and sliced spring onions.
