Vegetable Hakka Noodles

Hakka Noodles also better known as Hakka Chowmein is an Indo Chinese dish. It is very popular back in Kolkata. I often make this Hakka Noodles as a quick weekend brunch.


 Ingredients : Vegetable Hakka Noodles (Serves 2)
  • Egg Noodles
  • Assorted Bell Peppers
  • 1 medium sized Onion
  • 1 cup of Frozen French Style Green Beans
  • 2 cloves of Garlic
  • 1 tsp of Asian Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp of Soy Sauce (you can also use low sodium)
  • 1 tbsp of Green Chilly Sauce
  • 1 tsp of Plain Vinegar
  • 1 tsp of Sweet Garlic Sauce
I start with chopping all the vegetables and keeping them aside. Then boil water in a large pot, and salt it generously. Once the water starts boiling, add the noodles. After the noodles are done strain the water and toss the noodles with the sesame oil so that they don't stick and the sesame oil will give a nice flavor. 


 Heat a wok and add 2tbsp of oil, now add the onions, garlic and all the other vegetables and saute them quickly on high heat.  Add the soy sauce, green chilly sauce and the vinegar, salt and pepper and add the noodles. Mix well and serve hot. You can add egg, shrimps and even chicken to it to make it suit to your taste buds.
