Getting addictive to Chinese food, I guess, is a weakness for most of us! The yummy wontons, Szechwan rice, noodles, spicy soups etc invite a tempting feast on a relaxed weekend. Lucky for me, my family is a bunch of foodies, as a result of which you see the experimenting of my blog recipes on them. Since Chinese cuisine is another craving zone for all of us, I decided to make Hakka noodles for our Sunday meal. This recipe is made with chicken, as the meal for us had to be non-vegan.
The same can be avoided and it can be prepared as Vegan Hakka noodles.
