Chow Mein

Description: A favourite my kids love! My kids love this stuff DH and I are not quite as impressed but I am endevouring to find my MIL's recipe she used to make the kids when they were younger and visited her (which was a top secret recipe she never shared with me). I was told this is very close by my kids (now teenagers) ......... as they shovelled this recipe down!

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons oil
• 500 g minced beef
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 2 cups water
• 2 carrots, diced (small dicing)
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 cup frozen corn
• 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/4 cabbage, finely shredded
• 45 g chicken noodle soup mix
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 4 spring onions, sliced

Steps:

1. Heat oil in a large frying pan or saucepan over high heat and cook mince until browned ( I drain off the meat in a colander at this stage to drain excess fats and then put back into fry pan).
2. Stir in curry powder and cook a further minute.
3. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.
4. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender.
5. Serve.
