Vegetable hakka noodles recipe

Street style Vegetable Hakka Noodles make a great weeknight meal!

These are great on their own or serve along with Chilli Paneer or Gobhi Manchurian for an Indo-Chinese dinner!

The Indian version of Chinese is so popular back home that it’s now a cuisine on its own. At least I would like to believe that!

Whenever the cravings strike, I simply make them at home. They are really easy to make with few basic ingredients.
