Easy chow mein, while it is not bland, it isn’t very flavourful. We added heaps more veggies, and steamed the cabbage on top for the entire cooking time, not just the end. it is a good recipe for kids, Miss 6 did most of the work
Yum!!
Yum!!
Quite possibly the ugliest looking meal I've made...
Quite possibly the ugliest looking meal I've made but so tasty! And a winner for my kids who need their veg hidden in the meals.
I had an issue with bad scorching on the bottom of the bowl but I had reduced the liquids as per the comments so perhaps that was why? I also upped the seasoning with extra soy, kecap manis and curry powder and still could've gone with more.
I also used only a small amount of cabbage and just popped in the bowl with everything else so it cooked down well.
This made a huge serve so a good budget dinner with staples for those wanting to feed a crowd.
Love the taste. Listened to
Love the taste. Listened to all advice regarding soy and water and adjusted accordingly. The cabbage doesn't quite cook in the varoma in the time given so I add boiling water to the empty bowl and cook it a bit longer. This helps to clean the bottom of the bowl too.
Great dinner tonight, I added
Great dinner tonight, I added 2 tablespoons of curry powder and a good dash of soy sauce. I used a pod of chicken stock as run out of homemade stock

This is a regular in our
This is a regular in our home. Can I please ask you to change the steps of the method? Can you please add as a first step to shred the cabbage in the thermo then set aside into the varoma? I always forget to do this then when I get to the 'cook the shredded cabbage' instruction I end up cutting it by hand because the thermie bowl is already full. 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Love this recipe! Definitely a favourite in my house... Will decrease the amount of water and add more curry powder next time but overall it is a really tasty dish
Great recipe thankyou. I
Great recipe thankyou. I read all the comments and adjusted curry powder and water, added extra rice. I omitted the sautee mince step and cooked the mince in the simmering basket for 12 minutes before adding to the bowl with the vegies for the last two minutes.

This was popular with my 5y/o, 3y/o, 9 month old and husband! That has never happened before
I only added 20g olive oil and turned temp up to 100 degrees for the last 15mins of cooking and that was more than enough. Also reduced water to 600g.
Not the prettiest dish to serve up but certainly tasty. so lovely to find a recipe which doesn't ask for a packet of chicken noodle soup (with all the nasties!)
Gave this a go tonight,
Gave this a go tonight, didn't have noodles and added 20g more rice. Was very runny so cooked an extra 5 mins. Still a little runny but when cabbage mixed in was great! Kids loved it and will now become a regular on the dinner menu.

This was so yummy and the family devoured it all. Its a great meal for feeding a crowd. I doubled the rice as i had no noodles. Was a bit watery i thought until i mixed the cabbage through and let it cool and it was perfect. Yum!

Made it last night, with the stalk of a broccoli head as I didn't have zucchini, and extra rice as I didn't have any noodles.
Good taste (I'll use a bit more curry powder next time), easy meal.
With extra veggies this fed 5, with 2 going back for seconds, and 2 serves left for lunch, so great and cheap way to feed a crowd.

It was tasty but I think the carrots were cut up too small and hubby prefers the noodles long so I'll alter the recipe slightly for our tastes. We did enjoy it.

Very Tasty! Added to my dinner collection thank you. Next time I'll chop veg for only 3 seconds & add more rice (200g) to assist absorbing the liquid. Added 20 grams of tomato sauce & only 600 grams of water.

Great recipe!!! Everyone in the family loved it. Will be making this again!
I was going to convert my
I was going to convert my mum's recipe, that I've loved since I was little, but then I found this, and there was no need to! It tastes just the same - thanks so much! The only changes I made were to use chow mein noodles instead of rice vermicelli noodles, and chop for 1 second on speed 5. I also added 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, as per mum's recipe. I didn't have any celery, so put in some broccoli instead. I love the clever use of the varoma in this. You could even add more vegies in there if you wanted. As it was, it totally filled my 2.6 litre thermoserver. Yum!
Yum, yum, yum! I've made this
Yum, yum, yum! I've made this several times now, leave out the rice and add more vermicelli. Kids love it and if any is left it makes great jaffles!
Followed the advice of
Followed the advice of previous comments and added more flavour (40g soy sauce and double TM stock) also decreased liquid (500g) and cooking time (12mins)- Mixture burnt the bottom of the bowl but flavour was nice.Will continue with trial and error regarding the liquid
I made this for dinner
I made this for dinner tonight. Doubled the amount of soy, found the flavour quite nice. I used brown rice instead of basmati and increased the cooking time by 5 minutes for the brown rice. Found the dish quite liquidy, will add less water next time.

Made this tonight, it was simple and easy to follow. It was very yum although i made a couple of changes, i didn't add rice or noodles (my mum is on paleo) and i think next i would chop the veggies less because i like my veggies chunky but i did mince my own meat and it turned out great.

Delicious! But next time I will add a little bit more curry powder and soy. I also found it to have a bit too much liquid, so will decrease the amount of water added and increase the rice.

I made this last night at my
I made this last night at my eldest daughter's suggestion. I didn't put any noodles or celery in the recipe but I added 100g bean sprouts (which I steamed in the varoma with the cabbage) as that is how my mum used to make it. Everyone loved it and my husband has asked me to make it again tonight even going so far as to say "you should have a batch of this on the go all the time!". Thank you for a great all time favourite recipe and one which uses the varoma as well. I will be recommending this one to my Thermomix customers
Absolutely delicious and kids

I made a vego version of this - yummo! I replaced the beef mince with Casserole Mince - a 'fake mince' made by Sanitarium (we dont usually like fake meats but I do use this occassionally). I rinsed off the gravy sauce it comes in. Thank you!

I made this without the noodles and for the last step of cooking it for 15mins , I split it up into 5mind, stir with TM spatula, 5 mins, stir with TM spatula and then cooked for 5 and halh mins for the remainder. Never burnt. topped it with a teaspoon of sourcream! Yummo !
I really love beef chow mein,
I really love beef chow mein, and this recipe is great! I didn't use onion or celery. I think it is perfect with the following tweaks:
*flavour: I found it didn't have as much flavour as I liked the first time, so made it using 2 teaspoons curry powder and 60g soy sauce the second time. I
*consistency: I found the mince was too pulverised the first time so I cooked it on spoon reverse the second time, stopping every 5 minutes to scrape the bottom of the bowl with the tmx spatula. This also resolved the burning issue - the first time there was a thin film of burnt 'stuff' that took ages to clean. The second time there was a thicker film that came off immediately.
I made this using some garam
I made this using some garam masala as suggested & red cabbage. I wasn't fond of the cinnamon tase from the garam masala, though my husband and kids liked it. Next time I will stick to the curry powder.
Flavour was great, but I
Flavour was great, but I followed recipe strictly, and it burnt to the bottom of the bowl. If anyone can work out what to change to fix that, it would be a great recipe.

I left the noodles out as i dint have any, made no difference very yummy. I also used red cabbage for added colour. Will be a regular for dinner at my place. Thanks
