Vegan stir fry wok noodles
I like to experiment with recipes especially vegan. A great Vegan lunch idea is Chinese vegan stir fry wok noodles to serve your guests on a short notice and make it look exotic as if you were a chef. It has been one of my favorite and fool proof recipes for some time. Its a great Vegan lunch complete with fresh green salad.
It takes a little time to chop the vegetables but the cooking itself can be done in under 20 minutes. Its also a good way to use up what you have in your fridge and store cupboard. You don’t need to have all the ingredients which calls for in an original Chinese Wok noodle recipe but I promise it will just taste as good. For example I had no soya sauce or bamboo shoots etc, but it really doesn’t matter. You can play with the ingredients.

Transitioning towards Vegan
As we are transitioning into a gluten free and vegan diet for the sake of my daughter because of her intolerance to both diary and wheat. We decided to make this for our lunch and to finish up the last package which was lurking in my pantry. We had enough left overs for the dinner that evening.
