I once went to Thailand and had authentic chilli garlic noodles. Somehow it didn’t suit my taste buds a lot. In India, we make Chinese dishes like Noodles, Fried Rice, Manchurian very differently using a lot of spices. That’s what defines Chinese food for me. It has a lot of vegetables making it a delicious and healthy recipe.
Also, you don’t need any separate gravy with these noodles because of the flavour they carry. They are best eaten alone.
A suggestion here is to prepare these in a large iron kadhai (pan) and not in any aluminium vessel. A proper iron pan gives its distributed heat and cooks them really well.
Let’s see how we make it.
