Veg Noodles

Description

Veg Noodles is a vibrant and flavorful dish that’s a favorite in many Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese and Indo-Chinese cooking. It combines stir-fried noodles with a variety of fresh vegetables, making it a delicious, nutritious, and quick meal. The dish is not only satisfying but also highly customizable, depending on the choice of vegetables and seasonings.

To make Veg Noodles, noodles (usually egg noodles, rice noodles, or Hakka noodles) are first boiled until al dente. While the noodles cook, a medley of vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, peas, spring onions, and mushrooms are stir-fried in a wok or large pan with a bit of oil. Aromatics like garlic, ginger, and onions are typically added to enhance the dish’s fragrance.

Once the vegetables are tender yet crisp, the noodles are tossed in along with soy sauce, vinegar, and optional seasonings like chili sauce, sesame oil, or a pinch of five-spice powder. The noodles and vegetables are stir-fried together, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce. You can also add a bit of sugar or salt to balance the flavors, depending on your taste.

To finish, Veg Noodles is often garnished with fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a bit of heat. The dish can be enjoyed as a stand-alone meal or served alongside a variety of other dishes like spring rolls or dumplings.
