Chow Mien

This is another delicious recipe from simple, healthy, tasty. I have not tried one recipe from her blog that I haven't liked! This was a big hit with the entire family!

-Whole grain cooked spaghetti noodles
-Favorite stir fry type veggies (I used a frozen stir fry mix from trader joes)
-Nama Shoyu (soy sauce) if you are trying to avoid soy (like I am) coconut aminos is a great soy sauce substitute
-Sesame Oil
-Favorite good ingredient Teriyaki sauce
-Roasted Cashews or Peanuts

Saute the veggies in some oil and Shoyu on high heat just until crisp tender. Turn down heat and add cooked noodles and season with vegetable broth powder and teriyaki sauce to taste. Take off heat and add nuts. Serve immediately.
