Chow Mein Noodles

My mom used to make chow mein noodles for my sister and me as an evening snack after we came back from school.It was more healthy than maggie because of all the veggies and we both absolutely loved it.

Now i make it for a quick and an easy dinner when i dont feel up to making chapati and sabji.And my hubby loves to have it with maggie chilli sauce!!(The only change i have made to the orginal recipe is to remove ajinimoto (MSG).))

15 cups water
1.5 packets ching's egg hakka noodles
1 capsicum
0.5 onion
10 carrots
1tbsp chilli-garlic sauce
1tbsp pepper
1tbsp soy sauce
(you can also try adding beans and cabbage)

1.Boil water with salt and oil
2.Boil noodles for 3-3.5 minutes.Add cold water, spread on a big plate, mix few spoons of oil and let it cool down.
3.In a wok, add 2 spoons oil, and fry the onions for a minute.Then add the remaining veggies.
4. Keep frying with chilli sauce,soy sauce and pepper.Add a cup of water, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
5.Add noodles when veggies are still crispy.

For a yummy twist, add 2 egg whites after veggies are cooked.Then add the noodles after the egg whites are cooked.

Enjoy!!!
