Made it tonight for a family birthday dinner and served it in lettuce cups like San Choy Bau. Just so yummy, everyone loved it.  Will definitely be cooking that one again.

Can't begin to say how much I loved this - reminds me of the chow mien I used to get as a kid (except it's nicer in the TM as the meat is minced).  DD 3 also really loved it - I followed someone else's suggestion and steamed the beans with the cabbage.
Another winner Chelsea!!! :)

Finally got around to trying this version of Chow Mein today.  Lovely thanks Chelsea (as all your recipes are ;)).  I love the idea of steaming the cabbage and I also did the beans in there as well.  I ended up with a thermosaver full.  Will add even more beans and cabbage next time.  I had some chicken stock in the fridge so used that for the liquid component with 2 tblspns Tenina's chicken stock powder.

It certainly does make a large amount.  I have been filling the varoma (packing it in) with cabbage lately. Yum!

I had this for dinner tonight - it was beautiful! And DS ate a whole bowl, and he's going through the 'never eating dinner' phase. Anything that can get that much vegetables into a 2 year old has got to be good! Thanks, Chelsea!

I really love this recipe. It is a standard meal in our family as everybody loves it.

I don't even bother cooking the cabbage or beans, just stir through at the end so that they retain their crunch....delicious.

I bought a whole cabbage at Woolworths for 50 cents yesterday, so this one's on the menu this week!

Made this last night and my almost 1 year old loved it, and then she ate the leftovers again for dinner tonight! Great for a quick healthy weeknight meal - should definitely be linked in the babies and kids section.

Done, thanks for the suggestion Cuddle cook - JD
