Veg hakka noodles recipe

This vegetable hakka noodles is very easy to make and also kids like this very much. A nice variation to the usual Instant maggi noodles. I have made this by adding more veggies. You can reduce the veggies if you want. Veg hakka noodles is always a popular one among kids. If you have plain noodles at home, you can make easy restaurant style noodles for kids at home. I used Chings noodles for this recipe. Spaghetti can also be used.

  • Cook for 3-4 minutes. Do not over cook.
  • Drain excess water and pour cold water and add a tsp of oil to it and toss well to avoid the noodle sticking to each other.
  • In a pan add the oil, and add the garlic and spring onion whites.
  • Let this cook for few minutes till the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add chopped veggies and cook on high flame.
  • Add the tomato sauce, chili sauce and soya sauce. Add a bit of salt too. Do not add more as the sauces will have salt too.
  • Mix well.

  • Add spring onion greens on the top for garnishing. 
  • Serve it hot.
