Asian Noodle Stir Fry

I spent all weekend preparing for today’s cookie party. My friends have been getting together with my Mom and Kelly since we were in second grade to bake cookies together. It used to be pretty simple. We would make sugar cookies and decorate them, maybe some hershey kiss cookies and of course chocolate chip cookies. Over the years it has gotten much more complicated. This year we made 18 different cookies! There were too many to count but I think we had about 1,000 cookies. There are too many good cookies to only make a few, so we make them all!!! It was exhausting but so much fun. We also went to the hospital to see our friend Melissa’s new baby, baby Lillian. She is pretty adorable!

 

After all that cookies making the last thing I wanted to so was cook dinner. Thankfully, we had leftover Asian noodle stir fry in the fridge. This is one of my new favorite lunches/dinners. I make a huge batch, which we eat for dinner and then the rest we take for lunches during the week. So easy and much better than Subway or Jimmy John’s! You can absolutely change this up to suit your tastes. I have added asparagus, chicken, shrimp,  and zucchini before. Whatever you’d like to throw in there will be just fine! I love mushrooms, water chestnuts, and baby corn so I try to always include those things. This is a great quick weeknight meal and reheats well too.

 

Here is what you’ll need

Heat the peppers and onions

Add in the broccoli and mushrooms then the corn and water chestnuts

Whisk together the sauce ingredients and heat

Add half of the sauce to the noodles and toss to coat

Add the other half to the vegetables and toss everything together

Super easy weeknight meal with lots of tasty vegetables!
