Hakka Noodles

These Vegetable Hakka Noodles make for a quick, easy and delicious dinner/lunch. Hakka Noodles are a popular Indo Chinese street food that is popular all over India.

What noodles to use

I used Chings Noodles which I found in Yours Supermarket (Leicester). If you cannot find them Ramen or Soba noodles are fine. 

How to cook the Noodles

Your noodles should be cooked al dente. Cooking them all the way through and then adding them to a hot wok will mean that they continue to cook in residual heat and become soggy.

Variations

Generally, the Indian style vegetable hakka noodles have the following vegetables in it – onions, cabbage, peppers and carrots.

I like to use Green Peppers, Spring Onions , Carrots and Cabbage with everything sliced thinly so it cooks evenly. 

You can add Mushrooms, Corn, Broccoli - whatever veg you like!

NOTE - You can also toss in some Meat. Here is a Chicken version.

For this recipe to make life easier, it is better to prep all the ingredients before hand. You have to work quickly so it just helps to have everything ready.

Cookware

I like to use a wok for this recipe but any deep pot will do.

Sauces

In this recipe I use Soy sauce, Red Chili Sauce (Sriracha) and a Chilli Oil.  

Other Sauces you can add

MSG

Soy Sauce

A very well flavoured, slow cooked Stock

A rich Tomato Paste

Mushrooms

Miso 

In this recipe, I think Soy Sauce adds enough of a punch without having to add any additional ingredients.

If you use MSG, add a ¼ teaspoon in just before adding in the noodles. 

How to make Hakka Noodles

Prepare your ingredients - Prep Veggies.

Boil the noodles till al - dente.

This will take about 2 minutes.

Drain and wash under cold running water. Add a little oil so the noodles stay separate.

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g Noodles
  • 2 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 4 Spring Onions Chopped into ½ cm rounds
  • 3 - 4 cloves Garlic crushed
  • 1 inch Ginger crushed
  • ½ teaspoon Red Chilli Flakes
  • 1 large Carrot Cut into thin matchsticks/julienned
  • 1 large Green Pepper Cut into strips
  • ¼ small Cabbage Shredded
  • 3 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar Optional
  • 1 - 2 tablespoon Hot Sauce I used Sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon Caster Sugar
  • Black Pepper or White Pepper
  • Salt To Taste (I didn't use any because I found that the Soy Sauce was enough - taste before seasoning as Soy Sauce is very salty)
  • 1 tablespoon Chilli Oil Optional

Instructions
 

  • Boil the noodles till al - dente. (Cook for slightly less then the pack instructions ask for). Drain and wash under cold running water. Add a little oil so the noodles stay separate. 
  • Heat oil in a wok over medium/high heat, then and add 2 of the spring onions, garlic, ginger and chilli flakes. Saute for 2 minutes. 
  • Add all the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute and add Soy Sauce, Hot Sauce, Vinegar (if using) and Sugar. 
  • Toss the veggies through the sauce. Add in the black or white pepper and cook for 2 minutes over low heat.
  • Stir in the boiled noodles. Add chilli oil and garnish with remaining spring onion.

Notes

Check the seasoning and taste of the noodles before adding any Salt. Soy Sauce is quite salty already.
You can use Ramen or Soba noodles in this recipe.
