Chop suey was one of the first recipes I learn to make as a newly wed. It's cheap, easy and quite good for you.. It's full of flavour and full of veggies.
250 - 300 grams of mince beef
2 cups of frozen beans, corn, peas ( combined )
1 stick celery finely sliced
3 - 4 mushrooms sliced
Broccoli and cauliflower florets cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon curry powder
Salt, pepper and chives / parsley to taste
2 handfuls of cabbage, spinach or silverbeet finely chopped
1/2 pack 2 min noodles
1/2 packet of chicken noodle soup
Dried onion flakes and garlic granules ( or fresh )
I medium carrot, peeled and finely sliced
Cut all veggies and place in microwave veggie steamer and cook in microwave on high for 8 mins.
While the veggies are cooking, cook the mince in large electric frypan.
Put the chicken noodle soup into a measuring jug and add 1 cup of boiling water and stir. Add to the meat
When veggies are cooked, add them to the meat. Add curry powder and seasonings to taste. Stir well.
Add cabbage / silverbeet / spinach on top of the meat and veggies and place the lid on for 5 mins. Stir everything together and add extra water if needed.
Add cooked and drained 2 min noodles just before serving.
Serve with a dash of soy sauce and rice or mashed potato on the side.
Serves 4 - 5 people
