Hello Friends! Presenting a very yummy vegetable and egg hakka noodles recipe today! My little picky eater loves this noodles. Yes, I know noodles is unhealthy, but my 2 year old just don’t understand that. This is the only way veggies reach his little tummy without having to force him to eat, so I make it for himย once in 1-2 weeks. I have tried feeding him veg fried rice/pulav etc. but he just won’t even look at them. And if I try to feed him Kerala rice and curries, he just screams and runs away. It is a super task to pry his tiny mouth open. I do try other ways to hide veggies in his food like spinach-egg quesadilla, black bean burgers, cutlets, white chana patties etc etc. Variety is what he seems to be looking for!ย I will share all those healthy recipes soon.
Like I said, his favorite is this vegetable and egg noodles. I add eggs in this for protein, but vegetarians can totally omit eggs. You can have this delicious noodles as it is or with any Chinese side dish. I love pairing it with my neighbor’s yummy stir-fried chilly chicken(recipe coming soon).
On another note, we are travelling to India next week for my brother-in-laws marriage. We are going for a month. Some serious shopping is on the cards. ๐ Its going to be a super-busy month with the marriage, a few other functions and a Chennai trip. I have scheduled a few posts for that time. I might be a little late in replying to your queries. Hope you understand. But you do keep trying my recipes, and do write me your feedbacks. I just love hearing from you ๐

Hi maya..
Where did u buy noodles from? Is this Hakka noodles?
Would thin spaghetti work here?
Or pls suggest where I can buy this ?
Thanks..
I used hakka noodles..You can get it from Asian grocery stores or Indian stores (Chings secret brand)
Everything came good except for the noodles. It came kind of squished. I think I either overcooked the noodles or did not get the right kind of noodles. The taste was awesome though ๐
