👨‍🍳 How to Make Hakka Noodles – Step-by-Step

🔹 Step 1: Boil the Noodles

  1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil with 1 tsp oil and salt.
  2. Add noodles and cook until al dente (just cooked, not mushy).
  3. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  4. Toss with a little oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

🔹 Step 2: Stir-Fry the Veggies

  1. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or large pan on high flame.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for 30 seconds.
  3. Add onions and sauté till translucent.
  4. Toss in carrots, capsicum, cabbage — stir-fry for 2–3 minutes on high heat to retain crunch.

🔹 Step 3: Add Sauces & Noodles

  1. Lower heat slightly. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, pepper, and salt.
  2. Mix well.
  3. Add cooked noodles and toss until evenly coated with the sauces and vegetables. Use tongs or two spatulas for best results.
🔥 Pro Tip: Always cook Hakka noodles on high flame for that smoky wok flavor.
