Stir-Fry Noodles

Hello, everyone. This week I am sharing two recipes, and both are from one of my favorite cuisines. It is a fusion of Indian and Chinese cuisine, fondly termed as Indo-Chinese food.

It is the adaptation of Chinese food and cooking techniques but with little variations and the addition of Indian aromatic and spices.

It is believed that the Chinese community settled in India developed this technique of cooking, which has now become an integral part of Indian cooking.

Today I am sharing a quick stir fry noodle recipe and later in this week, it will be Mushroom fried rice. Both these recipes are the quickest version of a busy weeknight meal.

Noodles are an all-time favorite at my house. Me, my husband and now my daughter too enjoy them. Since she has a taste for experimenting with new flavors and textures, she loved trying the Indo- Chinese cuisine too.

I try to mix and match various aromatics and flavors to make it more appealing to my daughter. In the following recipe, I have used basil as an aromatic and sesame seeds to flavor these stir-fry noodles.

I have used Kashmiri chili, to add just an aroma of chilies, minus the heat. They give the chili garlic sauce a beautiful red color and flavor but has no heat. So these noodles are totally kids friendly.

These can be a great lunch box option. With the addition of various vegetables, it is a wholesome meal. You can also add meat to these noodles while cooking.

Make these Stir-fry Noodles soon for your next family meal, and I am sure you will be making them more often.
