Hakka Chicken Noodles

Hakka Noodles belongs to the Indo-Chinese cuisine; an immensely popular and widespread cuisine in India tho’ it bears no resemblance to actual traditional Hakka or to any Chinese dishes. Noodles here are quickly stir fried with a spicy “Indian Chinese” flavored sauce, and crunchy vegetables. Lets prepare the  noodles in my style. 

Ingredients:

 

• 2 cups Flat Egg Noodles (also called Hakka noodles); boiled and strained
• 4 chicken thighs boned
• 1 Table spoon of Garlic Ginger paste
• 3 Red Chilies
• 2 Spring Onion
• 1 small Capsicum (sliced)
• 1/4 Cabbage
• 1 big Carrot
• 1/2 tsp Vinegar
• 1 1/2 tbsp Oil
• 1 1/2 soya sauce
• 1 small Onion
• Tomato sauce
• Chili sauce
• Salt to taste

How to make Hakka Noodles:-

• Marinate the chicken pieces in soya sauce for about half an hour before you start.
• Heat oil in a pan, add chili, chopped onion and garlic ginger paste and fry for a minute.
• Add the chicken pieces and let the meat cook a bit.
• Cut the carrot into this long matchstick shaped bits and the cabbage into this strips
• Add the chopped carrot and cabbage.
• Try and time the capsicum so it gets cooked along with the chicken.
• Now add the boiled and strained noodles and salt (to taste) and mix well.
• Add vinegar and soya sauce and some tomato sauce, chili sauce and mix it well.
• Put the chopped spring onion right at the end and switch off the wok. You want those spring onions nice and crunchy.
• You can fry an egg or two and place on the top. That does make it more exciting :) 

Tips - Add some Hoisin sauce (if it is possible), it gives a great flavour in this hakka noodles.
