FEW POINTERS TO MAKE TASTY HAKKA NOODLES

• The veggies added to hakka noodles have to really chopped fine or cut into julienne or grated as all the stir frying is done at a high heat.
• Make sure to use a wok or kadai or a pan with handles, so that you keep on moving the pan when tossing and stir frying the noodles.
• To get an authentic Chinese like taste, I recommend three ingredients – toasted sesame oil, celery and rice vinegar or rice wine. adding these ingredients makes a lot of difference to the final dish.
• Celery is not available everywhere in India. So if you do not have celery, then just skip it.
• Also instead of rice vinegar add white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
• Instead of toasted sesame oil, use sunflower oil or any other oil.
• Also try to use naturally fermented soy sauce as it gives a lovely fermented taste and flavor to the noodles.
