QUICK AND EASY CURRY NOODLES

Quick and Easy Curry Noodles image

We love curry noodles. My family always ordered a version of this whenever we went to a Chinese restaurant. I use this recipe when we want something spicy, and don't have a lot of time. I use leftover chicken, beef or even salad shrimp if I want meat in the noodles. I have also browned whatever meat from scratch. It can also have leftover veggies. My kids eat the vegetarian version cold.
