1 lb pork, beef, or chicken, sliced into strips (optional)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
½ a medium zucchini, chopped or grated
2 carrots, peeled and grated
¼ cup finely sliced onion
1 red bell pepper, sliced
½ a jalapeno, seeded and diced
Sweet and sour sauce
President's Choice General Tao's Sweet & Spicy Stir Fry Sauce (or any equivalent)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
⅓ cup water
Instant Chinese noodles aka stir fry noodles
Instructions
Heat frying pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and meat and cook until meat is just browned on all sides. Add all vegetables and saute 3-5 minutes, until meat is thoroughly cooked and veggies are tender-crisp.
Add equal amounts of the two sauces (enough to coat as many noodles as your family needs), salt, pepper and water. Stir and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in instant noodles (you want them to still have some crispness, and the mixture will be hot enough to soften them perfectly).
