"Balancing the vegetables with noodles and the flavourful sauce is the success of this stunning dish. Stir fries are incredibly quick way to cook and the short time means all the ingredients retain most of their flavour, texture and nutrients. The idea is to constantly toss the ingredients so they stir fry rather than fry. You can vary the vegetables, but I found these truly bring out the ethnic chow mein flavour. Enjoy"
