Veg Hakka Noodles is an Indo-Chinese dish stir fry vegetables. The origin of this dish can be traced back to the birth of Indo-Chinese cuisine. The Chinese settled in Kolkatta and introduced these vegetarian noodles to the Indians.

No matter what type of noodles you make, any Hakka Noodles will always have vegetables. In this recipe, I’m using only veggies. Vegetable Hakka noodles is usually a dish with stir-fried vegetables and Chinese sauce.”
When boiling the noodles, you need to make sure they don’t become sticky. To avoid stickiness, add oil to the water before adding the noodles. The strands of noodles need to be separate and not stick to one another. Also, the noodles should boil only up to 60%.
Besides, these noodles serve as a snack or appetizer, as well as the main dish. This dish tastes great by itself but can be served with Mushroom Manchurian, Baby Corn Manchurian, Veg Manchurian, Gobi Manchurian, Paneer Chilli, Fried Rice, Manchow Soup or Momos.
