Sensational Stir Fry

Lately I've bee the Samurai of Stir Fry...the Ace of Asian, and I love it because it's giving the family some crazy good veggies without complaints! I found a wonderful Japanese market that is SO inexpensive it's insane! I stopped by and felt a bit awkward at first, because I was the only non Japanese walking through a small store filled with non English packages. But when they saw me pick up Japanese cabbage, stir fry noodles, sesame seeds, and sushi grade tuna, they quickly started smiling. One man said, "You know how to make this." I said, "Oh yes! We love stir fry in our house." He laughed and point me in the direction of some other great items! I walked out of there with two bags of goodies and only spent $9! My new favorite store. But I digress. I've got a fool0-proof, super yum, stir-fry recipe...that I actually smell as I type! Here it is!

I will heed one warning, although this is really easy, it is a bit time consuming. Also, feel free to substitute your favorite veggies if there is one you don't like.

Ingredients:

3 carrots
2 shallots
1 small bag of bean sprouts
1 zucchini
1 squash
1 container of mushrooms (I use a mix)
4 tall green onions
Sesame seeds
Sesame oil
vegetable oil
cabbage (I cut up about a quarter of a head of napa or Asian which ever is fine)
Kikkoman Stir fry sauce
Chow mein stir fry noodles

Instructions:
Peel and slice all veggies. I use the peeler to make ribbons with the zucchini, squash, carrots, and green onions. I feel like the cook faster this way. Chop the rest of the veggies. Put all of them in a large bowl.
Get out a large wok. Heat sesame oil and vegetable oil in the wok. I used about 2 tbsp of sesame and 1 of vegetable.
Dump veggies in the wok and cover, let them cook until soft and delicious. In the meantime, follow the directions on the stir fry noodles.
When all of the ingredients are ready, add the noodles to the wok and add the sesame seeds, mix up and then add the sauce. Toss and serve! Enjoy!
