You don’t have to order chinese takeout everytime you feel like having noodles as this Schezwan Noodles recipe is easy to make and much healthier than the ones that you would get at chinese restaurants. One of the most popular dishes of the Indo-chinese cuisine, Schezwan Noodles is an originally chinese dish that is modified according to our liking by giving it an Indian touch. Spiced with Red Dry ... Chilli and Schezwan Peppercorn which is balanced by the sweetness of Jaggery, giving these noodles a nice flavour. Soy sauce is the X-factor in this Schezwan Noodles recipe as it completely transforms these noodles by giving it a complex range of flavours combining saltiness, umami, sweetness and a hint of bitterness. An array of vegetables including Spring onion, Bok Choy and Celery in addition to the usual ones such as Capsicum, Carrot, Onion and Cabbage are what make this dish what it is. They add a ton of nutrition value to the dish, making it perfect for both lunch and dinner. The noodles used in the recipe are made of whole wheat and not all purpose flour which makes it way healthier. We have used only 3 teaspoons of refined oil in this recipe to keep it as healthy as possible and cut down on unwanted calories. You can adjust the spices and the salt as per your taste. Keep stirring continuously while frying the vegetables to ensure that they don’t stick to the bottom of the vessel and get burnt. You can also add a bit of water if needed.
