Notes
- Stir-frying: Usually, while making any stir-fried dish, the heat has to be high and the ingredients have to be tossed then stirred continuously on the high heat. While making these kind of preparations at home, it is better to use a cast iron or carbon steel wok or a pan with handles so it is easy to lift and hold the pan with the handles, while tossing as well as when stirring.
- Noodles: Use any good quality noodles. You could use whole wheat noodles or plain flour noodles. This veg noodle recipe can also be made with hakka noodles, chowmein noodles, udon noodles or instant noodles. Remember to cook the noodles al dente or according to package instructions.
- Gluten-free variation: Feel free to make this recipe with rice noodles or buckwheat flour noodles (soba noodles).
- Non-sticky noodles: Another very important point when making any noodle dish is that they have to be cooked perfectly and should be non-sticky. When the noodles are al dente or just about cooked, strain them in a colander. This gets rids of any excess starch from them. Then rinse them with fresh water. Drain off the extra water and toss them with 2 to 3 teaspoons of oil.
