Today's recipe Veg chow mein noodles is favourite to everyone. Their is no age limit from kids to elders, noodles is most loved street food. Veg chow mein is a Chinese style dish of noodles shredded with vegetable. I and my hubby loves Ganesh restaurant (@Khurdha) veg Chowmein alot😋, after transferring we never had it again, so thought to have it once in this winter season 🤗. It's aromatic with sauces used and healthy too as we use lots of veggies in it. And the main thing is is very easy to prepare, only thing to take care is boiling of noodles.  No probs I will explain how to cook it 🤗.  We can use veggies like carrot, capsicum, cabbage, French beans, mushrooms spring onion bulbs(whites) and greens. Sauces like soya,red chilli, green chilli and tomato ketch up. Adding ketchup gives sweet tangy taste. Adding black pepper powder at end enhances taste and flavour 😋😋. 



   If  any of the mentioned veggies missing no problem still you can prepare. You can also prepare noodles with the sauces available with you, in order to get perfect street style taste have to add the sauces mentioned above. Yes, you can do variations 😊. These sauce cost less, purchase once and use it many times for Cabbage manchurian, noodles etc.,Today I missed adding corn flour and vinegar as they are not available in my pantry right now (still no compromise in taste😋😍). But I will mention how to use it 🤗. Buy good brand sauce and noodles so that you will get good taste. Prepare this yummy and tasty noodles at  home and make your kids and family happy.

Note

* We can use any noodles available in your place. 

* We can also use mushrooms and french beans as per availability. 

Tips

**  Maintaining veggies shape is not compulsory but it gives good texture  and fry properly. 

** Add 1 tsp of oil after straining noodles to avoid noodles sticking. 

** If you feel noodles are over cooked and adding oil too not working then spread noodles in plate and keep under fan. We all learn things by doing mistakes so no need to worry just find the way to fix it smartly 😉😍. 

** Do not overcook veggies, chow mein taste good when veggies are crunchy in taste. 

** Saute chow mein on high flames. 

** Donot burn sauces it will change (spoil) taste.   

** Adjust salt accordingly as we added salt while boiling noodles and soya sauce too contains salt. So take care while adding salt. 


** Adjust quantity of sauce accordingly as per your taste. You can also add only soya sauce and tomato ketchup too. 

** If you do not have chill sauce, you can add kissan chilli tomato ketchup too. This is just an option(taste may vary a bit).
