So who is still trying to break the habit? I reckon this thread should be a sticky. And it needs a little bit of updating too...

I am after a couple of recipes....

The Maggi 'Cook in the Pot' Chow Mein Mince and Mediterranean Meatballs.

Basically, what seasonings do you put in your home made chow mein, and any suggestions on creating a similar sauce to the one for the meatballs. For the meatball sauce (for the packet), you add a tin of tomatoes, water and onion. But the sauce thickens a bit, and I would have a bit of trouble copying it. None of my recipes are very similar.

Since our budget is tighter now, I am using mince a lot more, but don't want to be limited to bolognese type things (which is as far as my mince knowledge goes without raiding my books, and they don't seem to have anything comparable). That, and the two boys love chow mein and the meatballs, so I need to make them yummy! Thank you!!!
