Pork Chow Mein!

One Meal my boys love and mainly for one reason!!.....Chop Sticks!!! Kids love chopsticks, they are like mini swords with food poking ability...and they double as drums!! It is a joy and pleasure to watch my boys try to pick up noodles and meat with their chopsticks, Each one so different!. Wyatt simply stabs meat, Elias uses the twisting method, and Jude use two hands!! This meal is one that the boys will always eat!! They may not last the whole meal with chop sticks, but they eat the cabbage and spinach I put in there!!

We get our noodles usually from superstore, they come in two different size bags, one for 1.98 one for 3.49ish. This was just the small bag, which fed all of us plus leftovers for my lunch. I used the pork that I had cubed up and froze, Threw in some cabbage and spinach from our Vegetbale box...fried up in some sesame oil and soya sauce!!

Total Cost: $6.98, I had 2 bowls, Rest of family had 4 bowls, and 1 for my lunch. About a buck a serving!!

Definitely a quick meal!!

Tips:

• If buying larger quantities of pork, chicken or beef, cube or slice up a dinner amount and freeze in ziplocks!! Pull one out for supper!!
• Anything can go into a stir fry!! Great way to use older vegetables! My one cabbage was 2 weeks old, peeled off some layers...good to go!!
• Try chopsticks with your kids!!! Great way to encourage them to eat and have fun!! Buy at the dollar store!!

Here is proof my kids had fun!!!

 

 

So next time you are in superstore, pick up a package of chow mein noodles!! You can find them just past the "fancy" cheeses (feta etc), where the tofu is!!
