Equipment
Large frypan, stirring spoon, chopping board, knife, measuring cup and spoons, saucepan and lid/strainer for instant noodles.
Steps
- Heat oil in frypan on medium-high heat and brown the mince. Stir to break up the lumps
- Add all other ingredients (except cabbage). Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes on medium heat
- Meanwhile, cook the plain instant noodles (don’t add a flavour sachet). Strain noodles
- Add cabbage to the mince mixture. Reduce heat and cook gently for another 5 to 10 minutes. Add the noodles, mix through to heat. Serve
Tips
- Kangaroo meat is cheap, very lean and a good environmental choice. It has a strong smell when cooking (like lamb)
- Try a variation: You can use lean beef or chicken, if you prefer
