I LOVE Chinese. Who does not? There is something about the spices, the fresh ingredients and the simplicity in Chinese food, that always makes me a huge fan of them. Noodles, being the king of Chinese food, is undoubtly, everyone's favourite!
I adore Kylie Kwong and her style of cooking. (Not to mention, her style of chopping up vegetables) As her program is named, she does cook with Heart and Soul ! Her cooking has this sense of simplicity and clean flavours. The kind of ingredients that she used, makes my head spin so much and think of so many other alternate ways of recreating her own dish. What inspiration.
And so, I was watching one of her episode where she whipped up an extremely easy and healthy noodles. Right after her program, I watched Gordon Ramsey whip up a pasta with Asian flavours. You guessed it right. I combined, Ramsey's flavours with Kwong's noodles, a bit of my own twists and came up with this Sticky Soft Noodles, with chili mushroom soy sauce and honey glazed stir fried vegetables! :)
Name sounds so complicated but trust me, its an easy peasy 20 minute meal.
Ingredients
Carrot - 2 Nos thinly sliced
Capsicum - 1 No - thinly sliced
Mushroom - 1 packet - thinly sliced
Palak - Roughly Chopped
Spring Onion -1 cup Roughly chopped and place it in ice water
Dried red Chili - 10 Nos roughly chopped
Soy Sauce - 2 Tsp
Vinegar - 1Tsp
Salt - To taste
Pepper - 1/2 Tsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1Tsp
Olive Oil - 4- 5 Tsp
Honey - 3 Tsp
Hakka Noodles - 2 Packets
Method
In a shallow pan, add the Olive Oil and once its hot, add the chopped dried red chilies, Ginger garlic paste and Soy sauce.
To this, add Carrot, capsicum and the palak. Saute it for about 5 minutes.
Add salt and pepper, saute for another minute.
Now add in the mushroom and Vinegar and saute for another 5 minutes on a low flame.
Meanwhile, in a deep bowl, fill half of it with water and add some rock salt to it. Once it boils, add the Hakka noodles and let it cook for about 7 minutes.
Before draining, take about half a cup of the starch water and add it to the vegetables.
Once thats done, add the honey and the cooked noodles, stir well.
Take it off the heat, add spring onions and serve in a nice colourful bowl. Afterall, you have added so many vibrant colours to your dish :)
Serves - 4
NOTE -
1. After chopping up Spring Onions , give it an ice water bath for about 10 minutes as it makes them crunchy.
2. Be easy while adding salt as, Soy sauce already gives the saltiness.
3. Dried red chili does not hit you with so much spice. It gives colour and a hint of the awesome spice. So incase you want more fire, add some chili flakes.
