SOBAMESHI KEEMA CURRY A LA OCHI

Adapted from Ochi

Ingredients (for 6):

1/2 lbs ground pork
1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 1/2 tbs curry powder
10.5 canned diced tomato
3 packages yakisoba noodles, cut into 1/2-inch squares
2 cups cooked rice
Salt
Pepper
Cooking oil

Direction:


1) Stir fry onion until fragrant 

2) Add ground meat, curry powder, yakisoba seasoning (from the yakisoba package) and diced tomato into the pan

3) Stir fry for 2-3 minutes

4) Next, add the mixed vegetables and season with salt and pepper

5) Cook until done and set aside

Note: If you're like my husband, you can either have the yakisoba OR the cooked rice to go along with this keema curry.  You don't need to have both.  But I love the uniqueness of this combination
