Veg Hakka Noodles

This is my version of  Indo Chinese noodles. Easy to make and the only preparation is to cook the noodles before hand. I make fried rice and noodles very often and is loved by my dear hubby. Now a days even my little one enjoys this spicy indo chinese delight. One need to make sure that you do the entire cooking process in high flame. You can add sprouts as well to make this healthy. I hope you try this and enjoy as much as i did.
Happy cooking...

Boil noodles in plenty of water with salt and few drops of oil until 3/4 cooked or al dente. (al dente-cooked just enough to retain a somewhat firm texture). Do not over cook. Drain the water and pour cold water on top of the noodles. Drain the water completely, toss noodles with a tsp of oil and keep it aside. This is done to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Now boiled noodles is ready, so keep it aside.
