Noodle is something which every kid loves and is one of my favorites too. I just love the Chinese Lo meins and Chopsueys. There are so many different types of Noodles available in the market like Hakka Noodles, Egg Noodles, Soft Noodles, Fried Noodles, Rice Noodles, Instant Noodles and so on.
Vegetable noodles are pretty easy to make. You just need to grab a few vegetables from your fridge – be it carrot, beans, cabbage or spring onions. The beautiful combination of colourful vegetables and noodles is so delectable. Here is my recipe for vegetarian noodles. This is my Entry to FIC Delectable Combinations – June , event created by Sunshine Mom.
