While I was growing up Chinese food for me meant vegetable chowmein. It used to be a delicacy at my time with very few people knew how to make it. Though time has changed it is still one of the favorite dish for me and my daughter. I frequently make it for her now using vegetables in a higher quantity, to make it tasty and healthy at the same time.
