Chinese Food – Chow Mein
from Georgie Adamson’s parents’ days
This was a pretty exotic dish introduced to the family menu.
1 lb minced steak
½ cabbage, sliced thinly
1 lb beans cut small, 4 stalks celery, 2 medium onions, all cut small.
1 packet Continental chicken noodle soup
1 dessertspoon curry powder
3 cups water
Melt 1dessertspoon butter in saucepan or frying pan. Brown mince steak and season. Add water, soup and all vegs. Cook 20 mins. Add 2 dessertspoon rice when it starts to cook. Can add anything else, chicken, prawns, ham …
(This makes a good lot. I cook longer than 20 mins, beans and cabbage seem to need it.)
This was obviously a popular recipe as it was well used and ‘sticky taped’ together.From Georgie Adamson’ parents
