Chinese food is the best option for anytime meal.. Be it lunch, dinner, evening snack or starter. chinese food is a complete package. and I am madly in love with chinese.....hehe I mean chinese food. Let's make the restaurant style Hakka noodles at home in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients:
Noodles: 1 pack(250 gm)
Cabbage: 125 gm (shredded)
Carrots: 2-3 (long and thinly sliced)
Capsicum: 2 medium sized(thinly sliced)
Onions : 2-3 (thinly sliced)
Spring onions green: 1/2 cup (chopped)
Sprouted beans: 1/2 cup (optional)
soya sauce: 2 tsp
white vinegar: 2 tsp
Black pepper: 1/2 tsp
Green chilli sauce: 2 tsp
Salt: to taste
Oil : 4 tsp
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

Serves for: 2 persons

Method:
Boil approx 1/2 liter water in a big bowl. Add the noddles to boiling water. Let them boil for 2 minutes. Remember not to perfectly cook the noodles. We require 3/4th done noodles. so after 2 minutes put off the flame and refresh the boiled noodles with cold water and dip the boiled noodles in cold water. 
Heat oil in a pan. Keep the flame high. Add onions to it and fry for a 5-10 seconds. Add cabbage and carrots to it and toss the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes on high flame. continue tossing the vegetables to avoid sticking of vegetable on the bottom of the pan. Now add capsicum to it and toss well. Now add boiled noodles, soya sauce, vinegar, green chilli sauce, salt and pepper, spring onion greens and sprouted beans to it. Toss all the things well. You can also add chilli flakes to it, if you like more spicy noodles.
Hakka noodles are ready to serve. Take the noodles out in a serving plate. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.

TIPS:
  1. Hakka noodles should be cooked on high heat. So cook on high flame.
  2. The noodles should not be fully cooked. Otherwise they will get mushy. Noodles should be half boiled.
  3. you can add or minus the vegetables according to your taste.
  4. you can also add the market made hakka noodles sauce to it.
  5. A lilltle ajinomoto can also be added to enhance the flavour.
