This is an old recipe I'm pulling out. Actually, by old I mean it's not the first time I've made it. We love this one for many reasons. One, it's so yummy! Two, it's weight watchers. Three, we get to use the wok. And four, it's cheaper than take-out and just as yummy, if not more!
Note: If you are my or my husband's Facebook friend you know that we had a fire in our kitchen tonight! Don't walk away from your wok while heating the oil :) Also, this can be made in a skillet.
Please don't judge my horrible picture :)
