Notes

  • Cooking noodles perfectly is the key for a tasty schezwan noodles. I usually cook a little more than aldente for kids sake.
  • Cook noodles perfectly not too mushy or undercook it.It should be soft yet slightly crunchy enough to bite.
  • Use freshly ground pepper at the final stage for a great flavour.
  • Sauteing the veggies in high flame gives a nice smoky flavour and also helps retain its crunchiness without the raw smell.
  • Make sure to toss the noodles in oil to avoid sticking.
  • If you don't have schezwan sauce in hand, for a instant version soak few red chillies in hot water and grind it along with ginger and garlic to a slightly smooth paste. Saute till raw smell leaves then add it.
