One of my favorite take-out Chinese food meals is also one that we now make at home. You can add or modify the vegetables and meats to your own tastes. If you don't like shrimp don't add them. Substitute chopped broccoli for the green onions if you like; the recipe will be good no matter how you modify the ingredients which also goes for the chili pepper, add a little or a lot depending on your heat preference.
This delicious dish has quickly become a go-to quick meal at our house and one we all really enjoy.
Serves 6-8
1 pound rice vermicelli noodles, cooked and drained

2 small green onions sliced
2 cups fresh bean spouts
