The famous Indo Chinese dish that needs no introduction, noodles cooked in hot boiling water, tossed in sauces and veggies. A delicious treat good in itself but can also be paired with chilli paneer or chicken, gravy or dry manchurian etc to make it one complete meal. It' delicious, easy to make and bursting with Indo Chinese flavors. Well you can totally add protein of choice, chicken for a non vegetarian version, add cooked or grilled chicken and you will just be fine. The recipe is simple and is ready in less than 30 minutes, great for picnics, potlucks and even gatherings.

Hakka noodles are a house favorite and makes a delicious weekend treat, make this version and you will not be missing the restaurant noodles. You can even make it for meal prep, lasts good upto 2-3 days and you can also stock boiled noodles upto 2 days and toss it in fresh veggies and sauces once ready to eat.

Having your veggies prepared and chopped before you begin to cook is a perfect way to a lovely cooking experience.

Boil you noodles as per packet instructions or until al dente, set aside. Running cooked noodles under cold water and adding a sprinkle of oil helps it retain a smooth texture and would not let the noodles crumble.

There are various versions of noodles available out there and you can try the one you prefer, in this recipe I am using the Himalayan Hakka Noodles
