All right, for all of us ambitious types and not so ambitious types  I am  printing a  stir fry recipe  which is fast , easy, healthy and awesome in taste.  Asian- Style Chicken and Pasta  :  Serves 4.  2 c dried Chinese egg noodles or fine egg noodles ( about 4 oz), 1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/2c  bottled stir fry sauce, 1tsp minced garlic, 1 c pea pods cut in half on a diagonal, tips and stems removed, 1 medium red sweet pepper, cut into bite size strips, 1/2 c  carrot cut into slices, 1/2c celery cut on a diagonal, 1/4c water chestnuts, sliced, 8oz chicken, uncooked cut into strips, 3 tbsp cashews. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain,  set aside. coat a large skillet with a thin layer of vegetable oil, Stir fry the chicken 3 mins. remove to a plate. Add the  the vegetables to the skillet stir fry 3- 5 mins or until the vegetables are tender crisp. Add the noodles, stir fry sauce , ginger , garlic ,  cashews, and chicken to the pan heat through and serve.
