Ingredients:

2 cups rice noodles
460g
1 tbsp peanut oil
16g
1 onion
160g
18 oz ground beef (80/20%)
510g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1 tbsp curry powder
16g
1 carrot
60g
1 red pepper
80g
1/2 cup chicken gravy
100g
1/2 cup oyster sauce
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Noodles:
- Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large wok or skillet, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat until hot.
3. Cook the Onions and Beef:
- Add the thinly sliced onions to the hot oil and stir-fry until they start to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the wok. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Aromatics:
- Stir in the minced garlic and thinly sliced chili peppers. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Season:
- Sprinkle the curry powder over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
6. Add Vegetables:
- Add the julienned carrot and sliced red bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Combine Ingredients:
- Pour in the chicken gravy and oyster sauce. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the wok, tossing everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and heated through.
8. Final Touches:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more oyster sauce or a splash of soy sauce if you prefer a richer flavor.
9. Serve:
- Serve hot and enjoy your stir-fried beef and vegetable chow mein immediately!

Tips:

- Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes before cooking to make them flexible and easy to stir-fry.

- Use peanut oil for stir-frying because of its high smoke point and rich flavor. If you have allergies, you can substitute with vegetable oil.

- Slice the onions, carrots, and red peppers thinly to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.

- Adjust the amount of red hot chili peppers to suit your spice preference. You can remove the seeds to reduce the heat.

- Add the garlic and chilies early in the cooking process to infuse the oil with their flavors.

- Make sure to stir-fry the ground beef until it's fully cooked and crumbled for the best texture.

- If the chow mein seems too dry, you can add a bit more chicken gravy or a splash of water to achieve the desired consistency.

- Feel free to add other vegetables or proteins you enjoy, such as broccoli, snap peas, or tofu.

Congratulations! You've successfully prepared a delightful stir-fried beef and vegetable chow mein. This dish is a perfect balance of flavors and textures, with tender noodles, savory beef, and vibrant vegetables all brought together by a delicious sauce.
