Vegetarian stir fry noodles

If you’ve never tried stir fry noodles, you’re missing out on a delicious Asian dish (and an easy one at that). Stir-fry noodles are just that: noodles with a mixture of vegetables, meat, and spices cooked in a sauce. The noodles themselves are great when eaten as-is, but they can be cooked in a variety of different ways. Here are a few of the most popular stir-fry noodle recipes:

A stir fry, sometimes called Chinese fried rice, is a dish in which stir-fried ingredients are combined with rice (or other grains), sauces, and vegetables. The ingredients can vary widely, and may include any combination of meat, seafood, vegetables, and/or other ingredients. The dish usually uses a small amount of oil. A stir fry is often served with plain boiled rice, or simply rice, as a side dish.

Asian food has become increasingly popular in mainstream America over the past few years, and lazy Americans have played a large part in this phenomenon. Sichuan food, for example, has been a go-to dish for the Chinese-American community for a long time, but a few years ago, it went from a simple $5-$10 dish to a $30-$60 dish; and now, at restaurants such as Kowloon in Manhattan, it’s one of the most expensive dishes on the menu..

Vegetarian stir fry noodles are similar to vegetable hakka or chow mein hakka noodles and are stir fried in a wok or a larger Indian kadai. Stir fried noodles are simple to prepare and cook fast if veggies are cut ahead of time. It’s a kid’s favorite (and, of course, mine), and it’s a quick and simple lunch choice. Carrots, beans, cabbage, capsicum, and beansprouts are the most common veggies we see. You may add as many veggies as you like to the noodles, depending on your child’s preferences. Stir fried noodles, also known as Hakka noodles or hakka chow Mein, should be cooked over a high heat in a wok or a wider kadai, since the veggies will cook faster and the flavor will be different. I used egg noodles and any veggies I had on hand to make stir fry noodles, and I made it spicy by adding crushed chilli flakes or crushed chilli powder, as well as freshly ground coarse pepper powder.
