Veggie Noodles —-Dallas Special!
Below is my sister’s recipe for the delicious veggie noodles that she cooked for us at their house during our vacation in Dallas. I made them a few days ago and they tasted as yummy as it did at my sis’s place. The final verdict was however tipped in favour of my sister; we decided that it somehow tasted better in Dallas!:-)))
Anyway I used whatever veggies I had in my fridge; my sister used Carrots,peas,potatoes,onions and spring onions.
Recipe Serves 4
2 packs Hakka noodles
1 cup of yellow,orange and green bell pepper
1/4cup frozen green peas
1 bunch spring onions, chopped(Green part used for garnishing)
1/3 cup onions diced
1/2 cup paneer cubes (~15 cubes)
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 green chilly chopped fine
1tsp schezuan sauce
1tsp tomato sauce ( I used Maggi sauce)
1/2 tsp green chilli sauce
1-2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp olive oil
salt according to taste
Cook the noodles al dente according to the instructions in the packet. drain in a colander; place this under running water so that the cooked noodles don’t stick together. My sister disentangles them and cools them. I did that too.
Saute paneer in about 1 tsp of oil until both sides are lightly browned.
In a wok, heat the oil,fry onions, spring onions,ginger-garlic paste and green chillies for a few minutes. Once the onions turn pink, add the bell peppers. After 2 minutes,when they are half cooked, add the peas. Add the sauces and saute in high heat for a minute. Mix in the noodles thoroughly. Adjust salt and garnish with the green part of the Scallions and browned paneer cubes.

Those noodles are looking divine and those peices of paneer, Oh! sauted or fried paneer is my favourite. Your dish is so perfect…and so is your sister. Please do tell her that she has done a wonderful and beautiful job in making these veggie noodles.
