Skip the takeaway and try this delicious, flavour packed, quick and easy Beef Chow Mein! Minced beef and thin egg noodles are stir fried with vegetables before being coated in a chow mein sauce made with simple pantry ingredients.

  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

Chow Mein Sauce

Stir-fry

  • 400g thin egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 500g beef mince
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 4 spring onions, cut into 2cm batons
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Chilli oil to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the chow mein sauce ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.
  2. Cook the thin egg noodles as per the packet instructions less 1-2 minutes. Rinse in cold tap water, drain and set aside. They will continue cooking in the stir fry.
  3. Heat the oil in a large pan on high heat, add the beef, cook for 2-3 minutes until it changes from pink to brown, breaking it up with the back of your spoon. Stir 2 tbsp of the chow mein sauce through the beef to season.
  4. Add the eggs to the beef, cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes until the eggs are cooked through (see note 1).
  5. Add the cabbage and carrot, cook stirring for 1 minutes until softened.
  6. Add the chow mein sauce, cook stirring for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Add the noodles, bean sprouts and spring onions. Use tongs to toss and cook for a further 1 minute until the spring onions and bean sprouts are heated through. 
  8. Drizzle with sesame oil and chilli oil if using. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1 – Recipe inspired by Recipe Tin’s Beef Chow Mein – I love Nagi’s use of egg in the recipe, allowing the beef to cling to the noodles.

MAKE AHEAD – Prepare the vegetables up to 3 days prior by slicing and storing refrigerated in an airtight container.

LEFTOVERS – Can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days. Not suitable to freeze.

    I cooked this tonight, and it was delicious.
    Very easy, flavour was great. I did leave the Sesame off my Husbands because of an allergy, and I just used some chilli flakes ontop because I didn’t have chilli oil, and it was great! Will definitely be making its way into our regular dinners!
