A fast and easy beef chow mein dinner recipe that’s packed with veggies, noodles and lots of flavour – it’s a great recipe for all ages!

I have made beef chow mein for my family for years. The kids loved it as toddlers and I found it was a great way to add vegetables into their meals – plus the kids loved the addition of wiggly noodles!

Quick and easy tasty beef chow mein recipe

When my children were little I would add in just a pinch of curry powder, but now that they’re older I add in more curry for a stronger flavour. It’s a great recipe for using up vegetables you have in your fridge. I like to make a double batch and give the kids leftovers for school the next day.
