Easy Vegetable Chow Mein

By Melissak

We all have that one recipe we keep coming back to and make way to much.  I especially love this recipe when I’m sick, and can feel my body needs an overload of veggies.

This recipe is really versatile and you can change the veggies to what ever you have on hand.  The smaller you cut the vegetables the faster this will cook.  Also use a soy sauce you really, the soy sauce can change the meal completely so be sure you like it.
