Notes
Cook noodles as per the instructions given on the package. Overcooked or mushy noodles can spoil the entire dish. It is always good to cook the noodles 1 minute less than the specified time. For example- If the instructions on the packet are to cook noodles for 8 minutes then cook them for 7 minutes and then drain off the excess water.
Drain the noodles on a colander and then rinse them with cold water. It will immediately stop the cooking process. Then toss it with 1 teaspoon oil. It will keep the noodles separate.
Thinly slice the vegetables so that they cook faster.
Do not overcook the vegetables. They should be soft but remain a crunch in them.
It is important to make the Hakka noodles on high heat. This ensures that everything gets cooked evenly and the veggies retain the crunch in them.
You can add green chilies to the dish. I avoid using green chilies for kids.
All the sauces especially soy sauce have salt in them. Take care while adding salt to the recipe.
Easy for Meal Preparation - Chop the vegetables in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Stays good for 4-5 days. Similarly, cook noodles and store them in the refrigerator. When needed just toss them together with the sauces and spices and Hakka noodles are ready within 5 minutes.
