Chinese Vegetable Noodles. Cut vegetables to size so they will cook within a few minutes on high heat. When you are cooking the noodles, toss the vegetables into the wok in order of length of time to cook, starting with hard vegetables, like onion and carrots, and finishing with soft vegetables that do not take long to cook like snow peas and shredded Chinese Cabbagge. Would you like any meat in the recipe?

Quick, simple, but big on flavours, this is a fantastic midweek dinner that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
