Basic Noodle Stir Fry Starter

Use this recipe as a base for your stir fry dishes.  The ingredients are cheap and easy to prepare.  Get creative and add pieces of savory baked tofu, large steamed broccoli florets, or your favorite veggie protein.  We like to make Trader Joe's Orange Chik'n (pictured) to top it with.  The stir fry sauce is a breeze to whisk up and is so flavorful.  The toasted sesame oil adds a ton of aromatic flavor and the combo of ingredients makes a slightly spicy and sweet zippy sauce.  The same recipe also makes a great marinade for tofu!
