Fried Noodles and Veggies.
Can you think of a better way to eat your tasty carrots, Napa cabbage and daikon radish?
Me neither.
I remember many years ago when I lived downtown on Rochester St, we always ordered takeout from a restaurant in Chinatown called BenBen. One of their famous dishes (and our go-to favourite!) was "Fried noodles".
So, when I saw the gorgeous veggies in last week's Winter CSA basket, I thought why not try making my own?

1 napa cabbage, sliced into strips
2 tablespoon olive oil (for stir fry)

6 TBSP of oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
Pinch of salt, sugar and pepper
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Fry noodles in olive oil until crisp and golden brown.
2. Stir-fry onions in oil for 2 minutes, add carrots and daikon and stir fry for 2 minutes longer, add cabbage and bok choy and stir fry until slightly wilted (1 minute or less).
