Notes

  1. I have used thick noodles here but you can use any thin wheat noodles, chings brand hakka noodles are good too.
  2. Do not forget to rinse the noodles with cold water to stop cooking of noodles.
  3. Toss the boiled noodles in some oil, this will prevent the noodles from sticking.
  4. Use tamari in place of soy sauce to make these gluten-free.
  5. You can add any vegetable of your choice like mushroom, zucchini, green capsicum etc.
  6. To avoid soggy vegetables in this dish, chop all vegetables very finely into juliennes.
  7. Vegetables that need a longer time to cook must be blanched separately before adding to the dish
  8. Ideal protein choices for this dish are firm tofu cubes, lean chicken cut into strips, shrimp or mushroom as all of them cook really quickly
  9. Add more of the hot sauce and chilli sauce for spicier noodles.
  10. You can increase or decrease the amount of sauces used.
  11. Be mindful when adding salt to this dish as all the sauces contain salt in them
