Schezwan Stir Fried Noodles

View my step by step video

I love meat, chicken and seafood, but since our family is vegetarian for the 40 days of lent, I have been pushing the veggie envelope to try and make sure we're getting great tasting meals. Since we all LOVE Schezwan anything, this stir fry was a no brainer. The key of course is my delicious Schezwan paste which you can find the recipe for here. You can switch up the veggies, add meat, chicken or seafood and totally make it your own.

Remember whenever you prep your meals always have everything ready ahead of time, but more so with Chinese cuisine that is cooked quickly on a high heat. Slice and dice all your veggies and get all your marinades and sauces ready before you hit the wok!
