5. Add your sliced chestnut mushrooms and cook. Once coloured, season to taste with LoSalt.
6. Add the Pak choy and cook until just wilted. Then remove from the pan.
7. To the same pan add your sauce mixture and heat, this should thicken slightly.
8. Add the tomato wedges and cook for a couple of minutes.
9. Lastly add the noodles, steak and Pak choy and any juices. Toss until heated through. Double check seasoning.Serve in warm bowls sprinkled with the spring onion greens and some sesame seeds and sesame oil.
