Schezwan Noodles | How To Make Spicy Schezwan Noodles

These spicy Schezwan noodles are quick and delicious and make for a scrumptious meal, ready under 15 minutes!

I really don’t need a reason to indulge in Indo-Chinese cuisine!!

What’s not to love about it?

• It’s all done in a matter of minutes, just the ideal quick-fix meal we all desire sometimes.
• Needless to say, it’s delicious, the layers of umami flavor are surely what makes you drool at the thought of Indo-Chinese.
• I frankly don’t need a reason to make Indo-Chinese meals, coz no matter whatever dish you prepare, veg or non-veg, you’re palate and taste buds will thank you for the super scrumptious meal, and so will the rest of your family and friends.

Yes, the only prep part is the chopping the veggies and prepping up the meat,  if you are a novice at cooking, that skill will easily come along with experience. For a shortcut, there are a variety of frozen stir fry veggie blends. That’s a great option as well 🙂

Cooking something as easy as a basic noodle can be daunting for many folks. Well ask me, I’ve had my days and shares of sticky, gluey noodles, not very appetizing to look at I say.

Mom always got her noodles right, but me! I couldn’t! I finally perfected it after a few failures, and now I never have to worry about sticky noodles.

It doesn’t matter what brand you use, whether they are egg/eggless noodles. The trick is not overcooking them, cook it like you’d cook pasta, except that noodles cook in a relatively short time.

You have to fish them out of the water as soon as it reaches the al dente stage, read instructions and pics for reference below.

Want to hear a cheat’s trick? I use angel hair pasta or sometimes even Cappellini pasta to make Chinese style noodles. Well, I love pasta and Chinese, so heck, why not??
