Mum used to make it the same as motorbo - rice and no sultanas.Haven't had it since I left home and I don't miss it at all!

Kai Sing Ming - my mother called it.I've never made it since I've left home - and have no intention of doing so either.It was all the rage back then late 60's early 70's.

I wonder what "KAI MIN SING" actually means?
Maybe "Chinese Food"?

Yep, we cooked it in Form one Home Ec.It had the thrilling title of: Beef Chow Mein.

Hmm, do you REALLY want me to go get the actual recipe?

Thanks everyone.We had it as kids and I am keen to try it again - yum!

Carrots, cabbage, a TBSP of rice, but you hace to add the sultanas to make the curry powder sweet not hot

quiz3, Oct 20, 3:24am

I make the dish now and then but it never tastes like how Mum used tomake it. We used to call it "Poor Mans Chowmein"

I think the Asian name for it is Ki Si Min, WITHOUT tomato sauce or worchestershire ERK. But I do put a tin of tomato's, fresh grated ginger, garlic, a dash of chilli, and 1 tlbsp of oyster sauce with it.
Kai (Maori for food) si min is our kiwi name for it. Anyway, my whole family love it, its a easy as 1 pot wonder and inexpensive. Yum Kai pai
