Notes

You can use egg noodles in place of veg noodles if you like.

You can try other variations of the sauces as well though this one works really well.

Use any combination of vegetables but make sure that they are cut in equal small size.

I use my cast iron wok which works really well for this. It can be very hot and yet does not make the noodles stick. Use something similar and make sure that when you are cooking on high heat, you are constantly stirring the noodles.

To make it even more nutritious, add chicken pieces or prawns along with the sauces and then cook as mentioned.

You can add tofu or cottage cheese for vegetarian protein after you have added the sauces.
