Chow Mein and Fried Egg

Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable oil
400g pork mince
1 large carrot, peeled, cut into matchsticks
½ wombok or 1 bambino wombok heart, shredded (4 cups)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
125g green beans, cut into 2cm lengths
300g fresh chow mein noodles (see tip)
1 cup bean sprouts, trimmed
4 eggs
Fried shallots, to serve

Method

Heat a large, wok or non-stick frying pan over a high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil and pork mince. Stir fry 4 minutes, breaking up mince until cooked through. Add 3 tablespoons (1/4 cup) of the sauce mixture. Stir fry for a few extra minutes until pork is well coated.
Add the carrot, wombok, beans and green onions. Stir fry 1-2 minutes until wombok is wilted.
Add noodles and remaining sauce. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until noodles are heated through and sauce has coated noodles.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, fry 3-4 minutes until cooked to your liking.
Spoon Chow Mein into serving bowls, sprinkle with bean sprouts, top with fried egg. Sprinkle with fried shallots. Serve.
