Ingredients

  • 1 Onion -chopped

  • 1 tsp Garlic -minced or chopped finely

  • 200 gram Rice Noodle

  • 2 tsp Curry powder-(depending on taste)

  • 1 cup Frozen Vegetables

  • 2 cups Cabbage -(optional)

  • 500 gram Beef Mince-lean

Directions

  • In a frypan, fry off the onion and garlic until starting to brown, add the mince and brown well.
  • Add the frozen vegies and cabbage and put the lid on the frypan for 5 minutes or so until they are tender.
  • Meanwhile, boil the kettle and prepare the rice noodles according to their instructions – slightly under-cook them.
  • Add the curry powder one teaspoon at a time until you like the taste (the more you add, the tastier it is – but kiddies might not like it too ‘hot’). Stir through the noodles.

Notes

  • Beef Chow Mein freezes really well – even with the noodles. Freeze for up to three months.
  • Seal in ziplock bags for up to four months.
  • Serve in a lettuce leaf or on its own.
