Chicken and Vegetable Stir-fry Noodles

As the daily temperatures start to increase and your vegetable patch begins to take on colors of the rainbow, it’s time to hit the kitchen and cook up a stir-fry. Stir-frys are one of the best ways to add vegetables to your meal. They are delicious, nutritious and super easy to make. This noodle dish combines cuisine from the east with cuisine from the west. Although pasta is used in this dish, the cooking style and flavor is Asian. Stir-frys all start with some hot oil, garlic, and ginger, and end with a colorful assortment of vegetables. Soy sauce is an ingredient typical of stir-frys to help add flavor and moisture to the dish. The versatility of this dish enables you to substitute the vegetables with your favorite varieties. So what are you waiting for? Get out your pots and pans, bring out the knives, dig into your refrigerator and cook up a dish that leaves you feeling full and great.
