Hi wanted to know which soy sauce do you use? i bought the light soy sauce but somehow the noodles always stay white in colour. doesnt really taste the indo-chinese way. can you help me?

Kikkoman makes a good soy sauce. Low sodium soy sauce is great if you have health issues (eg high blood pressure, etc) but the problem can be that it’s flavor is not as salty. If you don’t have health issues, you can try the regular version and see if it works for you.
Also, the other sauces such as chili sauce and stir-fry sauce should also help with the color.

You could possible get away with spaghetti noodles but the thickness will be slightly different.

Any Major grocery store will have all of the items you mentioned. Or look for an Oriental Grocery Store. In the US, Walmarts also carry all the items.

In the indian version of Chinese noodles, Ajino-Motto (Or MSG)powder is used which is not available in US.
With the Ajino-Motto powder, the flavor of noodles is simply gr8.

wonderful recipe !
one question ! if some people don’t eat garlic and onions.. do you have any suggetion for that what to replace it? I know it wont give the same flavour but is there anything in your idea would make it excellent even without using onion/garlic?
pls. let me know..thankyou for your great support !

Hi Yogita,
If you are making these noodles for people who normally do not eat garlic/onions, they probably will not miss the flavor too much. The ginger, soy sauce and chili sauce (as well as other flavorings) do provide quite a bit of flavor.

I was just wondering, but if you have leftovers of this would it taste bad if you were to reheat them again? I know some recipes I’ve used where I’ve reheated the noodles or rice and it doesn’t taste very good at all.

January 14th, 2010 at 1:24 am
I made noodles as per your receipe they are really good. My question is why we use vinegar in noodles?
I found rice vinegar(white) in store. Is white vinegar is same as rice vinegar?
[Reply]
anuja Reply:

Vinegar is used in most of the Chinese cooking…the vinegar gives a hint of sourness to the dish which is really subtle.
Rice vinegar and White Vinegar are different, Rice vinegar has a little sweetness to it. You can use Rice vinegar but you might have to a add a little more than you would white Vinegar.
Hope that helps!

Hi,
If I wanted to add chicken to the recipe, should i cook it separately or along with the veggies themselves?
[Reply]
hetal Reply:
March 22nd, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Hi Parul,
You should cook the chicken first and pull it out of the pan. If you like, you can season it with a little soy sauce. In the same pan, you can cook the veggies and add it the chicken after they have cooked.

for this particular serving amount, if i wanted to add chicken… how much chicken would i add?? cups, pounds??
and i didnt understand when you said cook veggies and noodles first then add chicken?? right?
[Reply]
April 10th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
if i were to add chicken what kind of chicken? breast, thighs, legs…???

Hi Jessica,
Chicken breast works well for the noodles – they cook fast and hold shape well. For curries, we suggest chicken thighs and legs

Hi,
this is going to sound really silly but where did you buy your spoons from? im from england and we have really crap ones that take of the non stick from the bottom on the pan, or plastic ones that melt! I see you are using rubber ones? please could you know if there is a specific name for them and if i could purchase them anywhere online.
Thanks
Jenna

Hi Jenna,
There is no name or any information on them either and if we ever find them again, we will be buying about 50 

These spoons we got from a dollar store about 5 years ago and have not found anything like them again
Sorry, for being no help
TIP: try looking for spatulas that are heat resistant (so they don’t melt)
