Schezwan Noodles

Schezwan noodles are one of my favourite Indo-Chinese noodles.You can make them with any vegetable readily available like cabbage,peppers,carrots,sprouts,french beans,shallots etc
Like I mentioned earlier in one of my blogs,you can use the home made schezwan sauce for this recipe ,your total cooking time is significantly reduced if your sauce is ready to use. And now to the recipe,here it goes !
Ingredients
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 cup noodles
3 tsps schezwan sauce(Look for this recipe in my recipe index)
1 cup sliced peppers(red,green and yellow)
1 cup spring onion or shallots( just the white part)
1 cup julienne carrots
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp minced ginger
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp vinegar
A dash of salt to taste

Preparation

Heat oil in a sauce pan and add the minced garlic and ginger.Saute for a few seconds. Now add all the vegetables one after the other and cook until all the veggies are semi crisp.


Now add the schezwan sauce ,soy sauce and vinegar and cook for a few more minutes till the sauce is well incorporated into the veggies.

Meanwhile bring water to a rolling boil in a deep bottomed container and add a pinch of salt and sesame oil.Drop in the noodles and cook untill you notice the broth raising up.


Now turn off the heat and strain the noodles with a colander.Transfer the noodles into the sauce pan and give a nice stir to mix it with the cooked vegetables.
Garnish the schezwan noodles with spring onions on top.
