Vegetable noodles Recipe
Noodles are my all time favorite. I know it is liked by all. Some tips before preparing noodles: The Noodles should not be over cooked. Always add it to boiling water. Instead of green chili sauce you can also use red chili sauce. As we are adding green chili, chili sauce, black pepper powder, adjust the ingredients according to your spice level. The sauces will also have salt in them, so while adding salt, add less than necessary. You can always adjust it in the end. Cook the entire dish over high flame. The vegetables should be crisp and have a bite to them and not soggy and soft. Keep all the ingredients nearby and add one after the other quickly. Do not add soy sauce more than mentioned as it will darken the noodles.

• Keep stirring and pay attention as they water will boil and spill over. Let the noodles cook for 5 to 7 minutes or al-dente.
• Dump the entire contents of the pan into a colander and either pour cold water all over the cooked noodles or place the colander under running tap water. This will prevent the noodles from becoming mushy and sticky and will keep it separate. Keep aside and let all the water drain completely.
• Slice the onion thinly. Slice both the white and green parts of the spring onion and keep them separate. Shred both the carrots and capsicum very finely. Chop the garlic finely and keep aside. Slit the green chili in the middle.
