Home Cooked “VEG NOODLES”

My love for Chinese food combined with my desire to eat a healthy meal, encouraged me to experiment with the home-made variety. No !, not the instant 2-minute stuff !!. So, here I go.

RECIPE:

Ingredients:

·        Vegetables of your choice (Carrot, Beans, Cauliflower, Onion, Tomato, Capsicum, Cabbage etc.,) – 3 to 4 cups ( I like my vegetables )

·        Chopped garlic, green chillies, ginger -  ½ a cup (preferably according to taste)

·        Coriander ( I like it ), spring onion ( it’s a Chinese must ) – to garnish

·        Any brand of Veg Hakka Noodles ( 1 pk ) – not the instant variety

Method:

·        Wash & Slice the vegetables into long thin pieces.

·        Place the pan (Tava / Pressure Pan) on the stove.

·        Toss the “3 Gs”(Ginger, Garlic, Green chillies) into the pan

·        Follow it with the onions.

·        Then the rest of the veggies.

·        Add some  red’ chilly powder to make it spicy.

·        Add salt to taste.

·        Let the veggies steam.

·        Simultaneously boil water (6 cups) in a pan & add the Noodles. Let it boil for a couple of minutes.

·        Drain the water & keep the noodles on a flat plate.

·        In a pan, add some oil & toss the noodles for a minute..

·        Mix the Noodles & the vegetables well.

o   Add “Garam” masala for the ‘Indian’ twist

o   For a Chinese flavour, add readymade Manchurian or Schezwan chutney.
