Vegetable Noddles

Noodles is a totally delicious Chinese cuisine which has always been a hit not only amongst  kids and teenagers but also occupies a special plate  on Adults' platter. 

If made  a with lot of vegetables it becomes extremely healthy as well. Today  , I made it in the evening and within few minutes the bowl was empty.
Even though its simple to make , the purpose of me being mentioning it in my blog is that there are several tips u need to keep in mind while making it to get the desired result. Few Blunders and the noodles either becomes sticky or over cooked so here I m solving all your problems

Ingredients
Hakka Noodles : 150 grams
Cabbage : 1 medium sized [Cut Chinese Style]
Carrots : 2 [Cut Chinese Style]
Capsicum : 2 medium Sized [Cut Chinese Style]
Onions : 2 Medium [Cut Chinese Style]
French Beans : 1/2 cup [Cut Chinese Style]
Soya Sauce: 2 Tablespoon
Tomato Sauce : 4 Tablespoon
Chilly Sauce : 3 Tablespoon
Vinegar : 2 Teaspoon
Oil
Salt to Taste

Method
Boiling Noodles
In a large vessel , boil 6 cups of water and add a pinch of salt and 1 Tablespoon of oil to it.
Now put the noodles in boiling hot water and cook it open in a medium flame for 5 minutes. Not more than that because over boiling makes them sticky and messy.
As soon as it boils, remove the hot water from it and wash the noodles in running cold water for a minute. Drain out all the water and spread it over a platform for minimum 5 minutes.

Cooking Vegetables
While making Chinese always remember we never cook vegetables on a low frame for a lot of time. The vegetables are stir Fried on medium to high flame stirring continuously with proper attention. Cooking time in Chinese is less but the preparation time is more (i.e. in chopping veggies).
Heat oil in a wok and sauté onions in it for a minute and them add all the vegetables and stir fry them stirring continuously for 5 to 6 minutes.

Frying Noodles
On a non stick pan spread evenly oil and fry the noodles properly for a minute. This cooks the noodles properly side by side enhancing their flavor.

Finally mix the noodles with the vegetables adding all the sauces and salt. Do this procedure without the heat. Its done.

Tip: You can even use just a pinch of Ajino Moto  to enhance the taste.
