Chicken Schezwan Noodles
Noodles and Fried Rice are a quick and easy to make meal option at home. We can add whatever vegetables we have in our fridge along with some egg or meat too. Mix in some of the sauces and toss in the cooked noodles or rice to make a meal for yourself or for your family. Chicken Schezwan Noodles is one such recipe which you can prepare easily and it makes for a full meal by itself.
Carrots, bell pepper, green beans, cabbage, spring onion, mushrooms – these are some of the vegetables commonly added in noodles and fried rice. You can add all or just a few, depending on what you have with you. Along with this, some scrambled eggs and some meat adds to the flavour too. It is always good to have a few of the chinese sauces in your kitchen pantry. They always come handy in such quick preparations.
The best part about Chinese or Indo-Chinese food is that you cook it on high flame and keep tossing it around. You do not want the vegetables to cook fully and loose their crunchiness, and hence the cooking time is not very high. And that’s why I love making this for the family, as I do not have to spend a long time in the kitchen putting together a full meal!
