Ingredients

1. Noodles - 2 small packs 
2. Onion - 1 (sliced) 
3. Green Chili - 3 (half-slit) 
4. Garlic - 5 to 6 (finely chopped) 
5. Capsicum - 1 cup (juliennes, yellow, green, red) 
6. Cabbage - 1 cup (finely shredded) 
7. Carrot - 1 (juliennes) 
8. Spring Onion - 1tablespoon (finely chopped) 
9. Cooking Oil - A teaspoon and 4 Tablespoons 
10. Salt as per taste 
11. Soya Sauce - 2 teaspoons 
12. Red Chili Sauce - 1 teaspoon 
13. Green Chili Sauce - 1 Teaspoon 
14. Vinegar - 1 teaspoon 
15. Black Pepper Powder - 1/2 Teaspoon 

Direction/Method

1. First, boil the noodles. 
2. Take a pot and add some water. 
3. Switch on the flame and wait for the water to heat for some time. 
4. Add little salt into the water and a teaspoon of cooking oil because oil really helps in preventing the stickiness of noodles. 
5. When the water is hot enough, add two small packs of noodles. You can use any type of veg noodles for this recipe. By the way, this recipe will become even more healthier by using whole wheat noodles. 
6. Boil the noodles them until they are cooked but not mushy. Just ensure that you don't overcook them. 
7. When these noodles are packed, they would be tangled to each other. Use a spatula and carefully try to remove the tangles as much as possible. 
8. When the noodles are boiled enough, I'm going to strain the noodles using a strainer. 
9. Run these hot noodles under cold water to remove the excess starch. 
10. Keep the noodles aside by transferring them to a bowl. 
11. Next step, take a large wok such as a Chinese wok because cooking noodles in a large wok make a good difference. A heavy bottom pan, cast iron skillet, a kadai or a wok can also be used as they will also work very well for this recipe. 
12. Add 4 tablespoons of cooking oil and let the oil heat on a medium flame. The key here is to add bit more oil to get the restaurant type of taste. 
13. Add a sliced onion, 6 finely chopped garlic and 3 half slit green chilies. 
14. Mix and sauté them for few seconds. 
15. Typically, the Indian style vegetable Hakka noodles will be loaded with onion, cabbage, capsicum, carrots, and spring onions. 
16. Add a carrot which has been cut into juliennes and a cup of capsicums which is also been cut into juliennes. 
17. Mix them well. 
18. Ensure to cut these veggies into thin juliennes because thick slices of vegetable don’t taste good for Hakka noodles. Hence chop, slice and keep everything ready before you start as you will not get the time to chop in between. 
19. Add a cup of finely shredded cabbage. 
20. Mix and sauté them for a minute on a high flame so that the vegetables remain crunchy and you get restaurants like taste and texture. 
21. If preferred, add and replace some of the vegetables with baby corns, mushrooms or any other vegetables of your choice. 
22. Add 2 teaspoons of soya sauce, a teaspoon of red chili sauce, a teaspoon of green chili sauce, a teaspoon of vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder. 
23. Add salt as per taste. Don't add too much of salt because the sauces will usually have salt in them. 
24. When it comes to sauces, use any sauce of your choice and adjust them as per your taste. 
25. Mix them well. 
26. Add the boiled noodles. 
27. Remove the tangles in noodles and mix them well 
28. Cook this for a minute on a very high flame and keep mixing them. Always remember to cook on a high heat because with any fried noodles recipes this one too has to be prepared on a high flame as it brings out a smoky aroma. 
29. This recipe is quite healthy since they are loaded with veggies and when they are fried they give an enjoyable crunchy texture along with sauces that give a distinctive flavor. 
30. Toss them for few times. 
31. Vegetable Hakka Noodles are ready. 
32. Lastly, add finely chopped spring onions and toss them again. 
33. To serve, this recipe is usually served with tomato and green chili sauces. 

Vegetable Hakka noodles are generally eaten on their own, but some people prefer to have it with some side dish. Hence you can serve them with Veg Manchurian or Gobi Manchurian.
