Chicken Chow Mein

Chow mein is a favourite for my hubby and yet not one that I make very often.  Unsure why that is, because it’s quite easy.

This recipe makes enough to eat half and freeze half, I’m always keen on a dish that gives me a night off in the kitchen.

Chicken Chow Mein

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
500g chicken mince
1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 large carrot, peeled, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
8 mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 cup (250ml) salt-reduced chicken stock
1/3 cup (80ml) oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
350g packet fresh thin noodles
1/2 cup (80g) frozen peas
1/2 cup (60g) frozen sliced green beans
1/2 small cabbage, shredded

Method

Heat the oil in wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken, onion and garlic and stir-fry for 5 minutes or until the mince is cooked though.

Add the curry powder and stir-fry for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the carrot, celery and mushroom, and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Add the stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce and noodles and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture boils. Add peas, beans and cabbage and reduce heat to low.

Cook, tossing occasionally, for 5 minutes or until vegetables tender.
