Kitchen-Kollections

Hakka Noodles..one of the most common chinese food that you will find along college canteens in Delhi. I remember I used to barge into a chinese restaurant just after our 4 pm class for a hot plate of chinese noodles. Another favourite of mine is the chinese fried rice with manchurian. I think the main ingredient which gives a twist to the chinese cuisine is the Soy sauce. I really dont have any idea how that sauce is made but whoever made it is a real genius.

Well..I made it for the first time..and my husband really liked it a lot. I made it with only three main vegetables (i ran out of most veggies..it was almost weekend). I used lot of spring onions, cabbage and carrots. Can add srambled egg, mushrooms and bell peppers too…I used EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) which gave really good taste. Add this oil into a pan, add minced garlic and fry for sometime. Add the veggies, salt, pepper and let it cook. meanwhile boil the noodles in a pan of hot water for just 5 minutes. You can add few drops of vegetable oil so that the noodles won’t stick. After the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colandar and run cold water onto the noodles. Add this to the veggies, drop in the soy sauce, chilli sauce, green chilli sauce. Mix it well. Top it with spring onions. Thats it..simple to make..easy to finish!! Enjoy!
