Did you know that Fake and Delicious recipes are all over Pinterest? This veggie noodle is Chinese because it contains Soy Sauce.
Well, not necessarily call it Chinese, but I do. However, I love having this veggie noodle on weekends as a main dish because it is easy, tasty, and healthy.

Why FAKE Chinese Veggie Noodle?
The Cruel Reality of Recipe Ingredients in Lebanon
If you need to cook a western meal, you should have a lot of money to buy its ingredients. The products are expensive because they arrive from western countries.
Moreover, you shall go to the supermarket; small grocery stores have basic cooking materials only.
Unfortunately, due to the economic crisis in Lebanon, not everyone can cook a Western meal.
I created this fake Chinese veggie noodle to feel like eating a Chinese meal.
DELICIOUS Chinese Veggie Noodle, Know why...
First, I love eating veggies because they are rich in nutrients. In addition, the body absorbs the veggies’ nutrients faster than the meat nutrients.
On the other side of this meal being mouth-watering and delicious, it is a simple one-pot meal.
Did I mention before that I love one-pot? I love those meals because I do the dishwashing.
I always do not prefer to wash the dishes. So if you hate to wash many dishes, try to cook this meal!
You will only use a cutting board, a knife, and a pot.
One-pot meals also help you with managing your time. You know how much time will it take you to finish preparing and cooking your meal.
