Chowmein ---Special lunchbox Recipe (This time it's CHINESE!)

I remember when I was in my school days, my mom used to pack our lunch boxes, and I use to groan at my everyday home-food tiffin packed, thinking about the day when my mom will give me some money so that I can buy food from our school cafeteria. Today I am a grown up, my mom doesn’t pack my lunch boxes, I am not in my school days, and now, I constantly groan at my canteen’s food, missing my special home-made lunch boxes prepared with so much love from mom. It’s funny how our perspectives change with time. Who thought I will be sharing a recipe someday on lunch boxes for kids, who will groan looking at the tiffin like I used to do when I was a child! Funny, how things work out with time. Hope you enjoy this recipe, and have it as a tiffin, lunch, family meal, and evening accompaniments -whichever you like. Because it’s CHOWMEIN I am talking about. A recipe loved by all, usually great for family gatherings. Hope you will enjoy it and Happy Feasts to you all!
