A complete meal! A perfect combination of all nutrients contributed by the vegetables and starch from the noodles.
Chow mein is a style of preparing noodles separately and then topping them with a choice of ingredients. Here we have used carrots, capsicum and cabbage.
Though these I have made using spaghetti rather then normal noodles. You can alter it as per choice.
Serves 2.
