Who doesn't love collecting some simple and easy recipes for the day when you come home late from work or a long trip, you are starving and don't have enough time to prepare a whole meal? At times like this, your favorite noodles can come in handy 🙂 Like everyone, I also crave for pasta and noodles such as spaghetti, macaroni, pad thai, ramen, chow mein, chili garlic noodles, etc. But a few days ago I had some Hakka Noodles at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco. Since then, it has become one of my favorite noodle dishes.Â
Hakka Noodles is an Indo-Chinese dish and it's very popular among Indians. I wanted to prepare this at home so I went to an Indian store to get a pack of Ching's secret Egg Hakka Noodles. I found it to be a really simple recipe and thought I'd share it with you.
I made it with small salad-sized shrimp. You can add your choice of vegetables or chicken (whichever you prefer) in the recipe.Â
