A great wholesome dish to feed the whole family.
Back in the old days before, Chinese cuisine was well known in Australia, they called this chow mien mince back in the depression days, also knows as a version of gravy mince or savoury mince. You can serve it with rice, bread or mash potato. You can use frozen of fresh vegetables.
The best savoury mince you ever had!
This was a hearty meal my mum used to make that got from my grandmother. The small amount of ingredients make this dish special and flavoursome. It was called chow mien because of the noodles and curry flavour, even though it is an Indian yellow curry powder and an instant chicken noodle soup packet. Besides from the wrong facts, it's a delicious dish.
