Quick Chow Mein

Not always you have all vegetables to cook ;0
I opted this dish because I juz don’t want stand longer in the kitchen (when you really drowsy!)

What I did???
*Chow Mein-1 Pack
*Sliced onions-1/2 cup
*Bellpeppers/Chillies-1-2
*Mushroom-1/4 cup(washed in hot water;repeat the same with some vinegar and turmeric powder to get rid of any other --mushrooms are cute….yup not clean!!!!!!!!!!
*Garlic pods(sliced/chopped)-2 tsp
*Ginger-(chopped)-1 tsp
*Sesame Seeds-1 tsp
*Shredded Carrots-1/4 tsp
*Cabbage-1/4 cup
*Green peas-less than ¼ cup as I did not have much of it.
*Freshly Grounded White Pepper-1 tsp or as per req
*Kirkland Extra Virgin Olive Oil-2 tsp
*Vegetable Broth-1/4 cup

1) To 1 tsp of olive oil add salt as per req and bring 2-3 cups of water to boil.
2) Now add chow mein and allow to cook until it becomes soft and non sticky(it took 10 min for me)
3) On the other stove,I justed added a tsp of oil and cleaned mushrooms with chilly sauce,1 tsp of chopped garlic,salt and fried the mushrooms.I did not add water:) as mushroom by itself has lot of moisture in it.
4) This quick mushroom fry took nearly 10 minutes to be fully done!
