The spice, the aroma, the flavour and the fire are just some of the adjectives that hit us when we think of Chinese food. Us Indians have this affinity for Indo-Chinese cuisine, and how can we not, with delicacies like Schezwan Fried Rice and Gobi Manchurian? We have a nostalgic connection with this cuisine reminding us of those tiny, red coloured fast food centres, ever bustling with food fanatics like us. Here, I have a recipe for the ever favorite Veg Schezwan Noodles that never fail to satisfy our souls and fill our tummies with contentment. Long, soft noodles tossed and sautéed in spicy sauces and vegetables like peppers, carrot, chillies and more, it is a treat to your taste buds. It just takes a few minutes of preparation to make these Schezwan Noodles and while the water is boiling for the noddles, you can do all the prep during that time. The addition of celery gives it a very restaurant like taste and now with this recipe, the same taste can be achieved at home. Enjoy a complete Chinese cuisine menu this weekend with this Vegetable Hot and Sour Soup.
