VEGETABLE HAKKA NOODLES

Prepare the 'veg hakka noodles' at home is very easy and simple, though it looks every elaborate. I like the smoky flavour, when I toss the vegetables. This is one of my favourite menu, because my mom prepared noodles with lots of veggies and I seldom carried it with my lunch box in school or college days.  It is a whole some meal, can be relished by everyone and kids also love it. Sometimes attractive presentation and appearance do act as a main catalyst. Thin sliced veggies gives a nice texture to the noodles.

INGREDIENTS:
100 gm Noodles
2 Shallots (thinly sliced)
1 tbsp Chopped Green onions
4 Green Beans (chopped)
3 florets of Cauliflower, cut in small pieces.
2 tbsps thinly sliced Carrot
1/4 Green Bell Peppers, cut in small cubes
1 tbsp thinly sliced Cabbage
Handful of Green Peas
1 pod of Garlic (chopped)
1/2 tsp Garlic Pepper
1 Maggie cube (crushed)
1 tbsps dark Soya Sauce
1 tsp Oyster Sauce
1/3 tsp Ajinomoto
2 tbsps Olive Oil + 1 tsp Olive Oil

METHOD:
Heat 4 cups of water in a pan. When water starts to boil, add noodles, 1 tsp oil and pinch of salt in it. Cook for 3-4 minutes, don't overcook it. Drain water and pour cold water in it. Drain all excess water, so that the noodles will not be sticky. Set  aside.

Heat 2 tbsps oil in a non-stick pan. Add chopped garlic in it. Saute for 30-40 seconds. Now add sliced shallot, green beans, carrot, cabbage, green bell pepper, cauliflower and green peas in it. Fry for 4 minutes on high.

Add soya sauce, oyster sauce in it. Fry for another a minute. Now add cooked noodles, ajinomoto, garlic pepper, Maggi crushed cube in it. Fold well. Now add green onion and mix well. Fry for another 2-3 minutes.

Serve hot with manchurian or as such with sauce.
