I have an aversion to most take away Chinese restaurants near me, too greasy. But, I love Chinese food so I've come up with a few of my own takes on some of my favourite dishes. This one is simple and always enjoyed very much by myself and guests I serve it to. You can make it completely vegetarian/vegan or add any protein you like, sliced thin and sauteed in with all the ingredients after they've finished cooking. I like shrimp or chicken in mine.
