Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1/2 brown onion finely diced
  • 500 grams chicken mince
  • 1 carrot cut into matchsticks
  • 125 grams bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cabbage sliced thinly into 'noodles'

Sauce

  • 1 teaspoon xantham gum
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons xylitol
  • 1.5 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar or Chinese cooking wine
  • 1.5 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

To Serve

  • 4 spring onions sliced diagonally
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 4 boiled eggs cut in half
  • 1 red chilli sliced

Instructions
 

  • Boil eggs and remove shells. Cut all vegetables as above and prepare everything in advance as this dish comes together quickly. 

Sauce

  • In a small bowl or glass jar, place the xantham gum and xylitol. Mix until combined evenly - this is important to prevent the xantham gum from clumping. 
  • Add in 1 teaspoon of cold water and mix to make a paste. Continue mixing until it is a uniform mixture (not worrying if the sugar isn't completely dissolved). 
  • Next add the remaining sauce ingredients and whisk thoroughly to combine. The sauce will thicken further upon cooking. 
  • In a large frying pan or wok, add one tablespoon of olive oil, garlic and ginger and diced onion. Saute over medium-high heat for 1 - 2 minutes until the onion is starting to brown.
  • Add the chicken mince and break it up with a wooden spoon while continuing to cook for 7 - 8 minutes. 
  • Add the carrot and cook for a further 2 minutes. 
  • Finally, add the bean sprouts and half the prepared sauce. Turn heat up to high and stir constantly while the sauce thickens to your liking. Set the cooked mince aside. 
  • In the same frying pan, add an additional 1 tablespoon olive oil and sliced cabbage over medium-high heat and saute for 3 - 4 minutes. Add the remaining prepared sauce and continue cooking until texture is to your liking. 
  • Serve cabbage noodles with boiled egg and chicken chow mein, sprinkled with sesame seeds, sliced spring onion and chilli.
