Instructions
Cooking the Noodles
- Add 5 cups of water to a sauce pan and add a teaspoon of oil and ½ teaspoon of salt and bring it to rolling boil. The oil that we are adding to the water makes the noodles cook fluffy and prevent them from sticking from each other.
- Add plain noodles to the boiling water and keep the flame low and and gently stir using a fork and cook the noodles for about 3 minutes (check the instructions on the pack for cook time). We don't want the noodles to be overcooked. It should be Al-dente. They should be little hard and fluffy but not too soft and sticky.
- Once the noodles are cooked, remove the sauce pan from flame and drain the excess water using a colander. Keep the colander under cold running water and wash it nicely so that the cooking is immediately stopped, cooked noodles remain fluffy and not sticky.
Chopping the Vegetables
- Finely chop the garlic. Make thin slices of onions and keep it aside. Peel the skin of carrots and slice it to thin pieces. In the same way finely slice and chop the capsicum and cabbage. Chop the spring onion bulbs. Finely chop the spring onion leaves and keep it aside as this is only for garnishing.
Start making the noodles
- Heat a pan (preferably wok) and add oil. When the oil is hot, add chopped garlic, sliced onions and a pinch of salt and saute them till the onions turn transparent. If using spring onion bulbs, add them at this stage and mix well.
- Then add the sliced vegetables and stir fry on a high flame for 3-4 minutes. The vegetables should be half done yet crunchy.
- Add cooked noodles. Also add Soy Sauce, Red Chili Sauce, and crushed Pepper and mix well. Add requied salt (about ½ tsp). Toss and stir fry for about 2 minutes. We can use 2 forks or spoons to toss the noodles nicely so that it gets nicely mixed up with the cooked vegetables.
- Finally add vinegar and give a final toss and garnish with chopped spring onion leaves and remove from flame
