Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • Ching’s secret Veg Hakka Noodles: 2 packets a little boiled for 1-2mins
  • Carrots: a little fine sliced
  • Cabbage: a little fine sliced
  • Onion: a little fine sliced
  • Capsicum: a little fine sliced
  • Refined oil: 4tbs
  • Ching’s secret chowmein hakka noodles masala: 1packet

Method:

Step 1: Prepping the noodles

First of all boil the 2 packets of noodles in about 10 cups of water a little for 2 mins. Just half cook it as we need to further cook it with the veggies.

Strain after 2 mins and wash with tap water and sprinkle a little oil and keep in a bowl. Sprinkling a little oil helps in the noodles to not stick with each other.

Step 2: Prepping the veggies

Now take a medium pan and put 4tbs of oil and heat up. Add the veggies (carrots, onion, cabbage and capsicum) and stir fry well for 2-3mins.

Step 3: Making the Chow Mein

Now add the boiled noodles that we kept aside. Mix both the stuffs well. And then gradually put the Ching’s secret chowmein hakka noodles masala and 2tbs of water and mix it well and cook for 1min.

Your yummy chow mein is ready to be served.

  1. Boiling the noodles a little makes it texture nice and crunchy but never over boil it as it will make it lumpy.
  2. Stir fry the veggies till they are soft so that they retain the taste and crunch.
  3. Mix the half cooked noodles with the veggies and just mix with the masala and your absolutely amazing noodles is ready to be served.

Chow Mein is an absolute favorite of about everyone. I just love to eat the amazing noodles. Preparing this at home is super easy and you could always prepare this at home which is super easy and healthy as well. Add more veggies of your choice and surprise your kids and let them enjoy the tasty Chinese at home. Happy Cooking!
