One weekend recently, I made this gorgeous sesame tofu and decided to make some vegetable noodles to go with it. Not the instant version but the popular Indian Chinese vegetable noodles that Indians love!

The only time-consuming part of this recipe is julienning the vegetables. I have a handy slicer that does the job beautifully, especially on vegetables like carrots and potatoes so I used it to get the thin long strips (picture below). You can very well use a sharp knife and get the job done easily too.

How to Make Indo Chinese Veg Noodles:

2. Cook the noodles as per packet instructions. Usually, I add it to enough boiling water to cover it, with a pinch of salt and a few drops of oil. Drain the noodles and keep ready.

3. Heat oil and add the ginger and garlic. Saute until they turn fragrant and light brown in colour.

4. Add the vegetables and turn up the heat. Stir-fry continuously until they start to soften. Reduce heat and cook further until the vegetables are softer, still remain crunchy and retain their colour.

Notes:
- Always serve noodles hot and immediately after making. Any Indo-Chinese side dish will work well with noodles. Here’s a list of recipes you can use as side dish for vegetable noodles.
- You can add a pinch of sugar along with the vegetables while cooking them. I didn’t since ketchup tends to be sweet already
- You can add other ingredients like bean sprouts and tofu / chicken / prawns in the noodles to give it a different twist
