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.
