vegetable hakka noodle

A simple vegetable hakka noodle recipe, great for a dinner or to satiate your evening hunger. Hakka noodle often known as chowmein in India, is a street food favorite here and a menu favourite in Indian restaurants.

But often the ones we eat in a restaurant or street tastes very different and better from the one that we make at home. One crucial thing while preparing vegetable hakka noodle that matters is the temperature of the wok or kadhai you are preparing the noodles in. Always remember to keep the flame on high through out the cooking, do not change the heat. Also try to always prepare the noodles in a large wok so that there is enough space for the noodles to move, else they tend to stick with each other and become mushy. I do not put ajinomoto(MSG) in my recipes but if you prefer you can add a pinch of it while adding salt.
