    I love Chinese food and spicy Indo-Chinese fusion. My weekend special is a big bowl of Hakka chinese noodles with some Manchurian. You may also add a stir fry or fried rice and gulp it down with a huge glass of lemon soda. Also add some sriracha on the top if you like it hot and spicy. Just simple flavors and some basic sauce makes it a great vegan treat. You may call it veg chowmein or just noodle but it is a blissful bowl of comfort. Best part is I can feed loads of veggies to my toddler. Minimize the chilli and sauces for kids. Invest in a good chopper to get things done fast. I am sure all kids will enjoy this veg noodles recipe.

    Street food corners

    Best part about this is the visual appeal. Tossing food in a hot wok brings up the taste in anticipation. Reminds me of all those street food thellas back home in India. They make it day in and out. Indian street food has everything in it from bhelpuri to an Indo Chinese dish like fried rice and Manchurians . These days you even get Chinese bhel inspired by Asian flavors. You can find them in any city. Most of the youth thronging to this street food centers for a quick bite.

    I remember a food truck in TSR complex in Vizag. There was not even a signboard. Yet the food was fresh tasty with a small menu of soup, fried rice, chopsuey and noodle. Can you imagine a nameless restaurant? Taste spoke volumes for them. Reminds me of childhood when we roamed on cycles all day in township and enjoyed these small treats. However, Asian restaurants use egg noodle & MSG or Ajinomoto. That doesn't agree with my diet palette. Hence, making it at home makes it a win-win situation.

    Ingredients 

    • Oil
    • Plain noodle packet
    • Mixed veggies (cabbage, carrots, capsicum, onion)
    • Soy sauce
    • Optional sauces (green hilly, sweet chilly, hot & sour)
    • Salt & pepper

    Notes

    Note: Chinese wok heats up real soon so be careful while handling it.
    Check and cook the noodles according to the instructions on the pack so that you do not overcook them.
    The amount of sauce can be adjusted as per your choice.
    Adjust Salt as per the usage of Soya sauce as it has good amount of salt.

    Substitutions

    You can also use egg noodles or soba noodles(buckwheat) to make this recipe.

    Variations

    • Serve it with or without Manchurian.
    • Sometimes I love adding left over rice to the mix too, like my dad. It might sound strange, but it is a great way to reduce waste.
    • Like him, you can also add a fried egg  or chicken to make chicken Hakka noodle if you are not vegan. 
    • You can also use soba noodle instead of plain to make this recipe.
    • You can also make hakka noodles vegan just by getting a vegan version of Soy sauce or other sauces . All other ingredients used are vegan.

    Equipment

    Invest in a hand-crafted wok for getting the best dish. Wok tossed noodles are great because cook time is reduced as it heats up real fast. If you do not have a wok, you can still make them in a pan.

    Use kitchen tongs to mix the noodles with vegetables in the wok if required.

    Use a food processor for easy chopping.

    Top tip

    • Use a chopper or food processor to reduce preparation time.
    • Do not over cook the veggies as wok retains a lot of heat. It will continue to cook on its own until served even when it is off the flame.  
    • Do not over boil the noodles. Look at the packet for cooking instructions.
