Quick and Easy Chow Mein

Normally, I like to try recipes at least a few times before I share them, but this one was so good I just had to share right away.

1/2 standard sized box whole wheat linguine noodles (spaghetti works too)
1/2 C frozen peas
1/4 C hoisin sauce
1/4 C broth (vegetable or chicken)
3 T soy sauce
2 tsp chili garlic sauce
vegetable oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp ground ginger
1 package rainbow slaw (matchsticked carrots, cauliflower heads, and cabbage with little broccoli florets)

Boil noodles according to package directions. Add peas to boiling water just before draining noodles. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, mix together hoisin, broth, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
Saute oil and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat until onion is soft.
Stir in garlic, ginger, and slaw and cook 2-3 minutes.
Stir in cooked noodles, peas, and prepared sauce until everything is warm and evenly coated in sauce.
Serve and enjoy!

A note on the ingredients: the ingredients should all be available at your local grocery (though maybe not walmart), but for best prices on hoisin and chili garlic sauces, check out an Asian market (if they are available- the closest for me is 40 minutes away)
