Beef Chow Mein

Beef Chow Mein

Chow Mein has got to be the runaway success dish of the Chinese takeaway restaurant worldwide. It’s getting a bit of a reputation as a slightly tired out dinner option, but our recipe elves have worked their magic to wake this dish up and give it a new lease on life! Fresh zingy veggies are studded through this meal – and it’s absolutely packed with flavour (and no MSG in sight). Perfect for a mid-week pick me up. Why not snap a pic of your finished meal, chuck a filter on it and post it to our Facebook? You can win brilliant stuff and together we can change the face of Chow Mein for the better!

Cooking Steps

Cook and cut the vermicelli
1

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and then add in the vermicelli noodles; cook for 3-4 minutes or until just cooked through. Strain and refresh the noodles with cold water. Roughly chop the noodles into short lengths with scissors or a knife and reserve for later.

Cook beef mince and set aside
2

Heat some oil in a wok over a high heat, add the beef mince and fry while using a spatula to break up the mince for about 4-5 minutes or until the mince is cooked through. Stir in the Chinese 5 spice and place aside for later. Add a little more oil to the wok along with the garlic, ginger, and chilli and cook for just under 1 minute or until aromatic. Now add in the broccoli, cabbage, snow peas, soy sauce, sesame oil; if you like a little sweetness add the brown sugar. Cook stirring for about 2-3 minutes. Add in the beef mince, boiled noodles and spring onion and stir to combine.

Divide the beef chow mein between serving bowls. Did you know? Headache after a long day? Good news! The lactic acid in cabbage lowers stress and promotes relaxation, giving you some relief from your headache - eat up!
