Shanghai-style Noodles with Barbecue Pork and Chicken and Broccoli


I picked up some Chinese barbecue pork yesterday at the T&T Chinese Supermarket, ostensibly to try it, and to use up the fresh Shanghai-style noodles I purchased last week. With this, I bought some broccoli, and decided to add some fresh basil to the dish at the end. Really, you could add almost any kind of vegetable, bell peppers would be good. The dish was tasty, a good lunch.
