Need some dinner inspo? A weeknight meal idea that you can make in less than 30 minutes? Tired of straight up pasta? This ones for you.

Beef stir fry with chow mein noodles is a great way to add a whole lot of veggies to your plate in a colourful, fun, and flavourful way. And we ALL could use some more vegetables in our lives.

You can swap whatever veggies you happen to have in your fridge! No bok choy? Add in some broccoli! Don’t have any peppers? Throw in some mushrooms or zucchini. This recipe is very forgiving. 

Enjoy 🙂
