For the alphabet theme of Blogging Marathon #32, today is the turn of C and under international cuisine, I selected the Chinese Chowmein Noodles. This is a simple dish with the goodness of lots of vegetables. The best part of this noodles is that the vegetables retain their crunch and they taste extremely delicious along with the soft noodles. Never add water to cook the vegetables as it will make them soft and the flavour will be lost. You need to continuously stir the vegetables until they are 3/4th cooked and then add the sauce. Just stir it twice and add the noodles so that the vegetables stop cooking. You can make the noodles and vegetables separately and before serving time, just saute the vegetables until hot, add the noodles and mix and serve immediately. I have also given some step wise pictures to cook the noodles and hope you enjoy this post..
Ingredients:
Plain Noodles-100 gm
Carrot-1/2 cup (thinly sliced)
Beans-1/2 cups (thinly sliced)
Capsicum-1/2 cup (thinly sliced)
Cabbage-1/2 cup (thinly sliced)
Green Chilly-4-5
Soy Sauce-3 tbs
Salt-to taste

Procedure:
Preparing The Noodles:
1. Heat lots of water in a deep pan.
2. When it starts boiling, add the noodles along with a tsp of oil.
3. Cook until the noodles become soft.
4. Drain it in a large sieve and wash it immediately with cold water.
5. This step helps to stop the cooking of noodles so that it doesn’t become mushy.
6. Add a tsp of oil, mix and set it aside.
Preparing The Vegetables:
1. Heat oil and add the vegetables.
2. Keep on sauteing until they are 3/4th cooked. They must retain a slight crunch.

4. Stir until dry.
5. Add the noodles immediately, gently mix and serve immediately garnished with spring onions.
I love painting, dress designing and of course cooking. This blog which started as an online cookery book has given me a great insight into baking and has transformed me into a home baker who is now thriving to learn a lot about cakes and decorating techniques. This blog has thousands of tried and tasted vegetarian recipes around the world and eggless bakes.
