Notes

  • *Be cautious when adding the salt, as all the sauces have salt in them. So, do a seasoning check once before you add it
  • The sweetness in the ketchup will balance the heat of the chili flakes and sauce. If the noodles still feel spicy for you, you could add a little honey to balance it out
  • You could use any vegetables of your choice for the recipe. I have used bean sprouts, bell peppers and carrots. Some other options are onions, french beans, mushrooms, snap peas, baby corn, broccoli florets etc
  • Even fried or scrambled eggs work very well in this recipe
  • You could also add grilled and sliced chicken, stir fried prawns and/or pork too to your noodles
