“Na na Momma” this is what Pasta said after she was served with her Saturdays’ dinner. Loads of veggies were clearly visible from the plate of Chilli Garlic Veg Noodles that I prepared for our No-nonveg dinner yesterday and she rejected on first go as always though she finally had it completely. Nowadays, I am facing a new tantrum while feeding Pasta; she is not willing to take veggies! This is however a common problem among kids and mine is not an exception. She loves her portion of chicken and egg but with veggies I have no option but experiment new things to feed her. The Indianized version of Chinese staple is always a life saviour for me; this is one of the easiest ways to add loads of colourful veggies to my LOs diet.
Both me and hubby love Chinese and I often make Noodles in my place and my noodles preparations are either typical Indo-Chinese or sometimes full of Indian spices. I prefer to cook Noodles with extra garlic and Chilli Garlic Veg Noodles is a family favourite. The recipe of this Veg noodles loaded with the flavour of Chilli and garlic is really simple and can be a good option for lunch or dinner.
There are few veggies which I try to opt while making this Chilli Garlic Veg Noodles that includes Bell Pepper, Carrot, French Beans, Onion, Peas and apart from this I try to add seasonal veggies to make my Noodles more colourful and nutritious. This time I was available with Spring Onion and Zucchini apart from the veggies mentioned and I have added those too. Many people prefer to use Julienne veggies however I prefer to add small pieces for the sake of my LO. This recipe asks for use of Chilli and I add two types of chilli while making it; de-seeded skin of dried red chilli and chopped green chilli in vinegar. Given my little one can’t handle chilli much I ended of adding green chilli at last after separating her portion of noodles though I a sharing the recipe for normal process. I mostly add three types of sauces while making the Chilli Garlic Veg Noodles; Tomato Sauce, Soy Sauce and sometimes Red Chilli Sauce though didn’t added the last one this time. I mostly use Ching's Secret Hakka Veg Noodles for making this however; don’t add the tastemaker came with it.
