INGREDIENTS AND INITIAL PREPARATION:-
Below are the required quantities for each ingredient for 2 bowl servings:-
For Fried Noodles:
- 100-150 gram dried noodles
- Water to boil noodles
- Salt to taste (just a pinch)
- 4 Cups refined oil to fry noodles
- 1 medium-size onion sliced chopped
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- ½ cup capsicum sliced cut
- ½ cup carrot sliced thin
- 1 spring onion, fine chopped
- ½ tsp Ginger garlic paste
- 1½ tbsp schezwan sauce
- 1 tbsp Tomato ketchup
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp vinegar
- ½ tsp hot sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste (or 1 tbsp)
- 2 tbsp oil
-
Boil the noodles in hot water . Add salt and 3-4 drops of oil in water while boiling noodles. Drain water from the boiled noodles from seive or strainer and wash it under cold water.
-
Heat oil for deep-frying noodle over medium flame. Fry boiled noodle from both sides.
-
Deep fry the boiled noodles in small batches till they turn crispy. Each batch takes 10 -15 minutes to get golden and crispy. Keep flipping over the noodles using tongs at regular intervals. Drain out noodles on a plate lined with paper towel and keep aside for 10 mins. Similarly, fry all the noodles in small batches.
-
Gently break the noodles in 1-2 inches size (see picture). Keep aside.
-
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan on medium flame. Add onion, ginger garlic paste, capsicum, cabbage and carrot. Cook them well for 10 mins.
-
Add all sauces (schezwan sauce, tomato sauce, soy , vinegar and hot sauce) and sprinkle salt and black pepper. Mix veggies, seasonings and sauces well. Saute for 5 mins and add spring onion.
- Add crispy fried noodles to the veggies.
- Serve immediately.
Happy Bhel Time 🙂
Sharing is caring:
- If you want to make the bhel the next day or after 4-5 hours, store fried noodles in an airtight box.
- After combining all the ingredients serve the bhel immediately else noodles lose their crunchiness and become soggy.
- Seasoning quantity may be altered as per the taste preference.
- Don’t overcook the veggies.
