👨🍳 How to Make Hakka Noodles – Step-by-Step

- In a large pot, bring water to a boil with 1 tsp oil and salt.
- Add noodles and cook until al dente (just cooked, not mushy).
- Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

- Add garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add onions and sauté till translucent.
- Toss in carrots, capsicum, cabbage — stir-fry for 2–3 minutes on high heat to retain crunch.
🔹 Step 3: Add Sauces & Noodles
- Lower heat slightly. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, pepper, and salt.
- Mix well.
- Add cooked noodles and toss until evenly coated with the sauces and vegetables. Use tongs or two spatulas for best results.
