When our family is hungry and time is short, it’s often tempting to grab fast food. However, stir-fry offers another option. It cooks in less time than going through a drive-thru window, and we find it just as flavorful as takeout from our favorite Chinese restaurant.

The recipe is easy to adjust to accommodate your family’s tastes by substituting other vegetables for those they do not enjoy, and it is a great option for using up leftovers you find in the crisper of your fridge. The boiled low mien noodles contain less fat than the crispy fried ones used for chow mien.
