Neelam
thankyou soo much i presented this recipe in my speech class n everyone loved it
YUMMY-DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!
You ladies present the recipes very well. Your lipstick color is pretty. Which brand do you ladies use?
Hi, I want to know which noodles are you using. Can you please mention the name and where to get them in US
Hi Manu,
We don’t have a package handy at the moment, but we buy them from our local Asian market.
Hi Guys,
Love the recipe – but have been trying to find the egg noodles you use in the video. But to much frustration, haven’t been able to find the right noodles to cook with. Any suggestions?Brand name? Stores which I can try? Where did you buy the one you use in the video?
thanks,
anuja
Hi Anuja,
Unfortunately, we don’t have the package on hand but we buy the noodles from our local Asian market.
hi,
thx a lot of for the recipe. turned out delicious but quiet dry as compared to yours 🙁 any idea what went wrong?
Hi Nazish,
Since many of the sauces are to taste, you can adjust them accordingly to get the correct texture.
Awesome!!! Let’ me give a try 😀
so good
i just want to know where to buy the ingredient to make the chinese noodle
We get most of our Chinese recipe ingredients from our local Asian market.
Despite the onion, green peppers, and especially garlic, also, the little corns were iffy for me. The combonation of ingredients were so tasty, even my picky bf loved it! Reheating the meal in the microwave was dry, and not so great; any ideas for reheating?
Hi EvoNymph,
Heating noodles is always a challenge. You can try to sprinkle a little water over the noodles and cover them with a damp paper towel before microwaving. This will create steam and help with the dryness.
Hi Anuja & Hetal,
I tried this recipe it came up Fantastic.
Thanx for sharing.
You both take very good care of yourself.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Devang,
Great! Maybe you can surprise your wife when she gets back 🙂
how do you cook the noodles so they dont stick together? or if they are stuck together already, how do you fix it??
Add oil.
Add oil
Very nice video on chinese noodles. Guys.. I was wondering whether SALT is needed in this preparation or not. Or does this Hoisin sauce have SALT content in it. Bit confused on the SALT part of this one.
Really appreciate your mouth watering Chinese Noodles. Would like to see more..
Hi Abhishek,
Most Chinese dishes do not require salt because of the soy sauce.
I recently purchased a wok after viewing this video. I just made these noodles using a 12 oz. bag of Asian egg noodles. I followed the recipe exactly and only added additional soy sauce. They were delicious! I’m glad I found your website and will definitely be back. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Merrilee,

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,
These spoons we got from a dollar store about 5 years ago and have not found anything like them again 🙁 There is no name or any information on them either and if we ever find them again, we will be buying about 50 😉
Sorry, for being no help 🙁
TIP: try looking for spatulas that are heat resistant (so they don’t melt)
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 🙂
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?
Hi,
If I wanted to add chicken to the recipe, should i cook it separately or along with the veggies themselves?
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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
wow thankyou so much for replying…I appreciate your help !
takecare ! have a great day !
you guys are the best !
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.
why do you find Sesame oil, Minced garlic, Minced ginger, baby corn, black pepper, soy susce, white vinger, hosin sauce, red cilli sacue and if you know please can you give me the stores name.
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.
hi,
great recipe. just wanted to know if you are using white distilled vinegar for this or some other vinegar?
Hi Preeti,
We use White Distilled Vinegar for this recipe.

i forgot to mention in my previous msg….should v add salt while cookin the plain noodles??
Sorry, somehow your questions went unanswered. Yes, do salt the noodle while boiling them.
Hi,
I just watched your video and it says that I have to cook the noodles as per the instructions on the packet.But,unfortunately there are no instructions on the egg noodles packet that I purchased.So,I would like to know how much of water should I use and bring to boil to cook a 500gms noodle packet?
Cook the Noodles as per packet instructions.
Can you use spaghetti noddles for this?
You could possible get away with spaghetti noodles but the thickness will be slightly different.
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.
Hetal, Anuja
Can you please suggest a good Soy sauce brand and where to purchase it from? I have been trying Indo-Chinese recipes with Ching’s soy sauce purchased from the Indian grocery stores and I am not happy with the results

HI,
OH SO DELICIOUS,RECEIPE. THANKS
Hi Hetal and Anuja,
Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe. I was waiting for a chinese noodles recipe and when it’s here, I am unable to view it. Is it just me or is there some problem in viewing? The video just won’t start for me. Can anyone else view it?
Hi Meghana,
The video seems to be working fine from our side. Could you please try again?
Yes, thank you very much. It is working now. By the way, nice video!
looks so yummy…can’t wait to try it….thank you ladies…
Hey could you please tell me from whr can i purchase these noodles from….
You can get Egg Noodles (or other types of noodles) from your local Asian grocery store.
Can you show us how to make the Vietnamese chilli sauce ??? sambal ?? Sriracha sauce ?? Thanks.
Hi Nirmal,
We have a Chinese Chili Sauce. Here is the link: https://34.233.61.50/pickles-chutneys/chinese-chili-sauce.html
yay…so happy to see the receipe. it looks so good. but not as good as you two 🙂
disgusting taste like crap
i no rite
Add water
It would only taste like crap if you don’t know how to cook. The recipe was actually great — I just used some different veggies because that’s what was in my fridge. The one thing I would mention is to NOT put the oil in the pan on high heat… this burns the garlic/ginger. Try low to medium heat at first and once you start adding the onions, increase the heat to med-high…. otherwise, YUM!
