Chicken Stir Fry With Rice Noodles

Either way, these are delicious and a great recipe to make when the cravings hit, and definitely quicker and better than takeout.

Noodles: You can use any good-quality noodles of your choice. I’ve used Chings Hakka noodlesbut you can also make this veg noodles recipe with udon noodles, egg noodles, rice noodles, soba noodles, ramen, instant noodles, or spaghetti or angel hair (pasta).

Vegetables-I use carrots, bell peppers (red, green yellow), red onions, cabbage, and green onions and slice them julienne. This is just what I usually have on hand and they pair really well with these noodles. But you can also use other veggies of your choice like purple cabbage, celery, mushrooms, green beans, and broccoli.

Sauces and seasonings- For flavoring these noodles you will need Soy sauce, tomato ketchup, white vinegar (or rice vinegar), red chili sauce, (or sriracha), sugar, salt, and black pepper powder. You can also add some red chili powder for heat and color.

I’ve used two types of soya sauce for this recipe dark soya and premium soy sauce to balance the color and flavor. You can use either one or both like me or substitute with tamari or coconut aminos.

1 - Bring a large pot filled with water to a rolling boil. Stir in salt and then add the noodles. Cook the noodles as per package instructions. Mine cooked for 2-3 mins. While the noodles cook, separate them using tongs. Do not overcook the noodles, cook them al dente.

Prep the veggies by slicing them thin (julienne) and equal in size so they cook evenly. Also, portion out the sauces and spices and keep them ready!

5 and 6 - Heat a large wok or wide bottom pan on medium-high heat, and add oil to it. Once the oil is hot, add ginger garlic, and green chili (optional) followed by red onions. Saute for a few seconds or until the raw garlic smell has disappeared.

7 - Now add veggies - bell pepper carrot, spring onion (except cabbage), and saute for a couple of minutes on high heat. Veggies should be crunchy so do not overcook them.

11 - Stir in the cooked noodles, using tongs gently toss the noodles such that they are well coated with the sauce and veggies. Adjust sauce or seasoning if required. Turn off the heat so the noodles don't overcook.

Gobi Manchurian pairs really well with these street-style veggie noodles. For that added protein, top these veg noodles with a fried egg.

Prep everything before you start cooking. In Chinese cooking, all steps happen fairly quickly and on high heat (imparts smoky flavor) so if you pause in between to prep there are chances you can overcook the food.

Veg Hakka Noodles Recipe

Use a large wok or a large heavy bottom pan (cast iron pan) for making your street-style noodles. A large area will ensure that the veggies and noodles don't overcrowd the pan and make stir-frying easy.

You can use noodles of choice for this recipe like Hakka noodles, egg noodles, udon noodles, soba noodles, ramen, instant noodles, spaghetti, or angel hair pasta.

Cook the noodles al denteand in a sufficient amount ofsalted waterfor the right texture.Overcooking will make them mushy. Rub them with oilonce drainedto preventthem fromclumping.

Cut veggies thin and equal in sizeso they cook evenly and same time. Add veggies that have the same cooking together. Do not overcook the veggies.A slight crunch tastes nice with these noodles.

You can cook these noodles and chop the veggies over the weekend as part of meal prep and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Do not skimp on the oil. If you like your noodles with each strand separate and not mushy or clumpy then add sufficient oil while cooking as well afterboiling them.

Stir Fry Noodles With Chicken

Feel free to adjust the spice level to your preference. You can add more green chili, red chili powder, red chili sauce, or siracha if you like spicy noodles.

Last but not least do not overcook the boiled noodles once you add them to the pan as they will turn mushy.

There is a lot of similarity between veg noodles and hakka noodles in terms of their preparation but both vary in flavor. The main difference is Hakka noodles are milder in flavor and are typically made with thin or hakka noodles only. Vegetable noodles on the other hand can be made with any type of noodles and are spicier.

How To Make Veggie Noodles

Leftover noodles taste more delicious the next day as the flavors marry. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Heat in the microwave or in the pan on the stovetop until warm and serve.

Yes, you can make these noodles a day or two in advance, cool them completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can prep the noodles and veggies and store them refrigerated, toss them together just before serving.

Chinese noodles are incomplete without soy sauce, it adds a nice umami flavor to the noodles. But for some reason, if you cannot consume it you can simply skip it or alternately use tamari (gluten-free option) or Coconut Aminos (soy-free option)
