Preparation

Step 1

Make this recipe in 2 portions. Divide all the ingredients into two parts. It is easier to handle and also stir fry noodles should be made fresh.

First cook noodles in boiling water with a dash of salt. Filter the excess water and wash under running water to remove excess starch. Place it in a oil smeared plate. Let it sit there till you get the veggies sizzling.

Add some chilli oil and a little bit of regular oil in wok/ non-stick pan. Toss in ginger , garlic and onions (both regular and the bulb of the spring onions). Saute for a while and then add all the shredded veggies. Stir fry in high heat. Add salt. When crisp, stir in the cooked noodles and quickly fry the noodles. Add all the sauces mentioned above. Fry for another minute. Garnish with pepper powder, green onion shoots. Serve hot!
