CHINESE JEWISH PASSOVER STIR FRY

Another one of my favorite recipes from the cookbook It Tastes Too Good To Be Kosher. I've made this every year since I got the book as a present in 1997. We're not fans of Passover noodles and we don't eat rice on Passover, so we usually eat this over matzo farfel.

CHINESE STIR-FRY OVER CRUNCHY SLAW

Adapted from a recipe I found in a magazine. You can serve rice on the side if you must but it really isn't needed this makes very generous, healthy portions. The nutrional numbers on this recipe will be a little off because you throw away the marinade but it is in the ingredients (hope that makes sense, lol)
