Vegan Garlic Noodles

an easy peasy stir-fried noodle made in less than 20 minutes!

a perfect snack idea for Indo-Chinese lover

 Who doesn’t love noodles? It is so versatile as one can prepare them in a lot of ways and there are so many varieties that one can make. There are different ways to enjoy noodles like dry, fried with lots of vegetables or soupy with vegetables or egg or with lots of different kinds of meat. Also depending upon the particular noodle dish, each has its own distinct tastes, flavor, and texture.  

Here I have come up with a dry noodle recipe as Vegan Garlic Noodles. 

From the name itself, one can guess that there are lots of garlic. The good thing about these noodles is that they are so easy and quick to put together. Only some time is needed to cook the noodles and chopping 1-2 ingredients, else the recipe is ready in 5 minutes. What else you will need when in hurry !!

So the first work here is the noodle-cooking. 

Whenever cooking noodles, always consider few things :

Don’t overcook the noodles – boil them until aldante that means there must have a nice bite, but that should not uncooked or raw. As these will cook once again along with the sauce and the veggies, so do not cook them completely while boiling which will result in mushy noodles.

Toss the boiled noodles in some oil – after completely drained and washed under regular water, always drizzle a few spoons of oil over the noodles and toss gently which prevents the noodle from sticking.

After that, saute garlic and white part of spring onions in oil. Into that, add a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, pepper powder, and salt. Here sugar is optional, but I like to add some sugar to balance out the flavors. Finally, the cooked noodles are tossed with the sauce. Some toasted sesame oil is also drizzled all over the noodles and mixed well.

Toasted sesame oil gives a nice flavor to the noodles. So don't skip that.

The dish is ready to serve by now! Just before serving, I prefer to sprinkle some toasted peanuts and chopped spring onion on top of the noodle bowl. The peanuts add a nice crunch to each bite here.

Here I have kept it simple without adding any vegetables. But one can add some chopped vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, etc.
