Hakka Noodles

New year means testing new recipes. I have been away to India and upon my return I brought few cooking books like always. This recipe is from tarla dalal's book on healthy snacks for kids.

Ingredients

2 cups rice noodles
2 cups mixed vegetable ( carrot, cabbage, capsicum )
1 1/2 tsp chopped garlic (lehsun)
1/2 cup sliced spring onion whites

1 tbsp soy sauce
2 to 3 green chillies, finely chopped
1 tsp cornflour, dissolved in 1 tbsp cold water
3/4 cup chopped spring onion greens
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp oil
salt to taste

3. Add the green chillies, corn flour solution, salt and ¼ cup of water and mix well. Cook for another minute.
