Chilly garlic veggy rice noodles

 

I am a big noodles fan and love having it all the time be it pad thai, schzewan, hakka or any kind. But given all that hoopla around the scary ingredients used in chinese food outside I am a little skeptical of trying it out at at any place other than well known joints. But in any case this is something I crave for most of the times and just can't get enough of them.

I have used a lot of veggies in this recipe and used rice noodles instead of whit flour one as I think they are healthier. You may add or remove any veggy you do not have handy but as I was just done with my grocery shopping for the week I had quite a few choices. 

Ingredients:

200 grams rice noodles

Sauce:

4 tablespoon vinegar 

4 tablespoon soy sauce 

1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds

6-7 cloves of garlic 

Thinly sliced ginger- about 1 tablespoon 

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 tablespoon sesame oil

5 dried red chillies 

1 tablespoon red chilli flakes 

1 carrot cut into julienne strips 

1 small red, yellow pepper cut into julienne 

1/2 cup yellow zucchini cut into julienne 

100 grams button mushrooms thinly sliced

1/2 cup broccli florets

1 cup cabbage shredded 

1 cup sprouted moong-optional 

4 cloves garlic thinly sliced 

1 inch ginger thinly sliced 

1 tablespoon canola oil 

Salt

1 small onion thinly sliced 

Recipe:

Heat 1 tablespoon canola and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a wok.

Add thinly sliced ginger, garlic ,chillies. Let garlic turn a little pink. Add all remaining ingredients and stri it together. Switch off the gas.

Heat water in a big vessel and soak noodles or prepare as per instructions.

Drain and keep it aside.

Heat oil in a big wok and add onions. Fry for some time and then add ginger , garlic.

Make sure its on high flame. We dont want veggies to be cooked and become soft but have to keep the crunch so flame should be high and keep an eye by stirring constantly. Add all vegies and let them cook for just 2 minutes. Add noodles and mix everything together. Add sprouts and the sauce with salt as per taste. Cook on high flame for 2 minutes and serve hot.
