Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein
I broke the news to Mike that I wanted us to eat more vegetarian meals. His face dropped like a sack of potatoes. He consoled himself with BBQ chicken on the side of this Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein… I skipped the chicken. Here I’ve added a little heat, more than I usually do but it makes all vegetable, ie, no meat (again, sorry mike) a lot more interesting.
