I love the tangy tenderization that the buttermilk provides. After the buttermilk soak, dredge the chicken pieces in seasoned flour, and fry them in hot oil until crisp and cooked.

Heat a pot of water for the pasta.
Heat up a little oil in a large cast iron skillet or wok.
Toss in and brown the beef,chicken,or pork.
Take the meat out of the pan and set aside.

Add the browned meat.
Sprinkle in some seasoning & stir fry a few more minutes.(tsp to a tbsp)
Add about 1\3 -1\2 can of broth and your flavored sauce...(example:1\3- 1\2 bottle of Sesame Garlic Sauce)
(If you are doing raw deveined shrimp now is a good time to throw the shrimp in. If shrimp is already cooked wait until the end and toss in with pea pods.)
Cover pan with a lid for a few moments and let the flavors blend and the shrimp to cook.
In the mean time...if your water has started to boil,it's time to prepare your pasta. Follow package directions.
Take the lid off of your stir fry. Add the drained canned vegetables,pea pods, & broccoli.
Stir & put the lid back on for a minute or three.
If you like your sauce a little thicker,put a tsp or two of corn starch in a little cold water and add to the stir fry & mix it through.

Toss in a little bit of the flavored sauce and stir.
Now you serve. Either put the pasta right in a bowl and put vegetables and sauce on top or put the pasta right in the stir fry and toss together.
Serve with some crispy chow mein noodles on top.Deep fry some mini egg rolls as a side dish.
