Here is a quick recipe that’s perfect for lunch. It requires little ingredients and will take about 15 minutes from start to finish. What’s better is that this costs 5.50$ for 2 portions! The reason we only make 2 portions is because overcrowding the wok will set you up for failure. If you need to make more double the recipe and stir- fry it in two batches. This will ensure you get the crispy edges on the noodles like the restaurants.
I’m keeping it simple with tofu, Chinese broccoli, and onions. If you have leftover meat you can also throw that in.
