"My husband said, "oh, im not eating that!" coz he saw that i put fried noodles in there.  He didn't like eating much noodles or pasta. So he would rather eat the spicy pork leftovers.  But then I still give him this for dinner (not giving him any choice) hahahha.... and he said after, "wow, that's very delicious!" He ended up eating everything in his plate and very fast and nothing left even a  single piece of rice. Yes, guys, this recipe is really very delicious...why don't you try it too!"

YOU'LL NEED:

500g beef mince
2 tsp oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, diced
a small wedge cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
3/4 cup waater or beef stock
2 tsp cornflour
100g pkt pre-cooked crunchy noodles or fried noodles (optional)
steamed rice to serve (optional, see other ideas at the bottom)

HERE'S HOW:

1.  Place beef mince in a bowl and mix in a little oil.  Heat a  large frypan or a wok, ensure it is hot.  Crumble in half of the mince.  Cook stirring often until mince begins to brown.  Remove the first batch, reheat the frypan and cook the remaining mince and then remove.

2.  Reheat the frypan, add the oil, heat oil and add the onion and carrot.  Cook stirring once or twice for 1 minute.  Add the cabbage, cook for a further minute.

3.  Add the corn and peas to the frypan.  Return the mince to the frypan, cook for 1 minute.  Push the mince mixture out the side.  Pour in the combined soy sauce, oyster sauce, water and cornflour, stir as it comes to the boil.  Stir to mix the sauce with the mince mixture.  Add the noodles if using, stir to combine.  Spoon the mince into a serving bowl.  Serve with steamed rice.

MY EASIEST WAY MAKING THIS RECIPE:
*Fry the onion first in oil, then put the all the mince in the frypan. When its brown already. Put the mix garden vegetables (you can buy the mix garden vegetables at the supermarket, its frozen vegetable, mix with carrots, peas and corn and cut into cubes already).  Later, pour the mix sauce of oyster sauce, soy sauce and water or beef stock. Then its now ready to serve with steamed rice.
