Nutritionally we often hear that we should eat a rainbow a day. This colourful chow mein is packed full of colour, is high in fibre as well as being a good source of iron, vitamin B12 and zinc. Nutrition information aside it also passes the taste test with flying colours.
This vibrant plate of beef chow mein is basically your stir-fry alter ego, strutting into dinnertime with serious flavour. Say hello to a pile of fresh veggies alongside juicy beef mince, all wrapped up in slippery noodles that know how to party. The sauce? Oh yes. It’s a saucy trio of soy, oyster, beef stock and cornflour that thickens just enough to say “I’m serious about taste”. Whip out your wok, crank up the heat, and give dinner the kind of sizzle it’s been craving. Tonight’s vibe: bold, playful and a little bit naughty in all the right ways
