Instruction for Hakka noodles

• Boil 4 cups of water along with salt and oil.
• Add 150 gms Hakka noodles. I broke it into half and added.
• Cook the noodles for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are barely cooked (al dente). Noodles should not be overcooked or they will turn mushy.
• Drain in a colander and rinse the noodles with cold water to stop the cooking.
• Add 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the noodles and toss so that the noodles get lightly coated with the oil and don’t stick to each other. Set it aside.
• Heat oil in a wok over high heat.
• first, add 2 tsp garlic finely chopped along with 1 tsp spring onion white part. Saute for 2 mins.
• Add sliced onions and saute for a minute or two until the sides of the onion starts turning light golden brown.
• Add in the sliced carrots, cabbage, and capsicum, and cook for 1 minute on high heat. The veggies should remain crunchy.
• Keep the heat high – Add 1 tsp soya sauce, 1/2 tsp green chili sauce, 1/2 tsp red chili sauce, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp vinegar, and required salt
• Give the vegetables a brisk toss to coat them in the sauces; this should be done quickly over high heat.
• Add the cooked noodles and 1 tablespoon of the green part of the spring onion last.
• Hakka noodles can be served by themselves or with your favorite Indo-Chinese meals! Mine is delicious with chili paneer.

Notes
