Hakka noodles

Chinese food is my husband's and brother's favourite. So this is something i learnt from my mother, who is a great cook.

Ingredients:

1 packet Ching's hakka noodles
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp garlic paste
1/2C chopped green onion
1C cabbage, shredded
1/2 bell pepper chopped
a carrot peeled and chopped
1 tsp hot sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp olive oil

Method:

1) In a deep pan, boil salted water and add noodles. Boil for abt 8 mins or till al dante. Drain in a colander. Spray some oil over the noodles so that they dont stick to each other.

2) In a saucepan, add olive oil, onions and vegetables, except for cabbage. Simmer and let the vegetables cook for a while.When veggies are 3/4th cooked, add cabbage. Add cabaage later as it cooks fast and we want it crunchy.

3) After a minute add ginger paste and garlic paste. Stir and then add the boiled noodles. Turn off the heat as soy soauce burns in the heat. After the heat is turned off add soy sauce and hot sauce. Mix well and serve.

Serves: 1-2

Tip: Add salt only when using low sodium soy sauce. If the cap of soy sauce bottle is red then it already contains enough sodium and there is no need of salt. If the cap is green, it is low sodium.
