Instructions
BOILING OF NOODLES
- Take water in a wide pan and put on the heat.
- Add oil and salt.
- When water begins to boil, add noodles.
- Let the noodles cook for 2-3 minutes (better to follow instructions given on the pack). Noodles have to be cooked al dente.
- Once done, take the noodles out of water and spread in some wide tray or plate.
- Pour some oil all over the noodles and toss so that they don't stick to each other. As the noodles must be extremely hot, so better use a tong to toss them. Keep aside.
MAKING OF NOODLES
- Take oil in a wok or pan.
- Add garlic and dry red chillies.
- Saute till garlic turns slightly brown.
- Add onion and saute till the edges of onion runs slightly brown.
- Then add bell pepper and saute on high heat for a minute or two. Remember, the crunch of onion and bell pepper shouldn't be lost.
- Add red chilli sauce, soya sauce, tomato ketchup and vinegar. Saute.
- Now add spring onion greens and saute them too.
- Add sugar and saute again.
- Lastly add noodles and salt.
- Mix well but be careful not to break the noodles.
- Garnish with spring onion greens.
- Spicy chilli garlic noodles are ready.
- Enjoy.
Notes
Be vigilant while adding salt. Sauces too have salt especially soya sauce.
