Who loves noodles?? ME ME ME!!! I love noodles – all types ! This is my attempt at hakka noodles. This recipe is onion and garlic-free and can be modified easily to be jain-friendly, but feel free to modify it any way that you like. The trick is not to over cook the noodles. This recipe can be ready easily in 30 minutes. If you chop the veggies ahead of time, then literally in 20 minutes! The noodles only take 4 minutes to cook, so this definitely makes your life easier.
