Indo-Chinese Veg Hakka Noodles / Chow Mein is a Chinese dish with an Indian twist. It is made with cooked noodles which are stir-fried with a lot of veggies and a variety of sauces.
The key thing that makes this dish stand out is the smokey flavor that comes with cooking it on high flame. I go completely nuts for mushrooms, so I added them to Indo-Chinese Veg Hakka Noodles / Chow Mein. You can also check my other Noodles here.

Notes
- Always cook the veggies in as high flame as possible. This is the key to the recipe’s success.
- Keep tossing every now and then. Use a non-stick pan that will make this step easier without requiring too much oil.
- Olive oil will give the full bodied flavor. However, you can choose any other oil as a substitute.
- Adding extra oil enhances the taste.
- If you don’t have white pepper, use black pepper instead.
