  3. Oh! Yum! Your stir fried noodles looks so delicious! This is really my kind of food, I can eat something like this any time of day. My son and I love baby corn so much but I've never found any fresh baby corn around here so I usually use green peas or broccoli instead. It really is a kids friendly dish and I love how you add cashew nuts in it, sounds so yummy!
