Easy beef chow mein recipe

Why do we love to make easy beef chow mein at home?

Made with quick and easy supermarket ingredients, including fresh egg noodles (but you can also use dried if that’s what you have in your pantry), vegetables and a delicious sauce, made from soy and oyster sauce, is it any wonder chow mein is one of our most popular recipes on taste.com.au (and around the world)?

Perfect for kids and adults alike, our beef chow mein recipe uses ground beef mince, so it’s cost-friendly, and has pak choy in place of cabbage, for extra crunch. Yum!
