Easy 1 Pot Vegetable Hakka Noodles. Indo Chinese Hakka Noodles with peppers, onions, cabbage, carrots and a simple sauce. Vegan Nutfree Recipe. Can be gluten-free.
Indo Chinese food is a big category of its own in Indian cuisine. There are several dishes that make up the cuisine. The dishes are known for being heavily influenced by chinese dishes and then they are amped up with things like garlic, ginger, green chile, spices and more.
These Hakka Noodles are a staple side that goes well with any of the Indo Chinese veggie mains like Manchurian(book 1), or a Chilli Tofu paneer.
To make this into a meal, add some baked tofu or some vegan meat subs marinated in soy sauce + minced ginger+ garlic. I like to make these with peppers, onion, cabbage and any other veggies that I have, and some greens. These noodles are super easy, 1 Pot, peppery and a great light weeknight meal.
Easy, quick and amazing flavor!

July 12, 2017 at 6:09 amThis looks really good, thanks. Nice and easy and straightforward, which is what I need these days. I’ll put it on Instagram when I make them.
I also want to try Singapore noodles, which I LOVE but have never made at home. If you feel like giving them a go sometime, I’d love to see your recipe . 🙂 All the best.

July 12, 2017 at 10:18 pmI think I will get a small cake of firm tofu and slice it up fairly thinly then marinate it in the soy sauce, etc. (maybe add a touch of sesame oil as well), and substitute this marinated tofu for the cabbage which I can’t eat. Hopefully that will work.

July 20, 2017 at 4:48 pmThis was delicious! I made a double recipe and the four of us devoured it. I chilled it for an hour before serving because its’ such a hot day. I hope you don’t get tired of hearing this, but, “Richa, thanks for another winning recipe) 🙂

August 30, 2017 at 4:28 amThis was very good Richa. Simple and satisfying. I used brown rice & millet ramen, and would double the cabbage next time since it cooks down so much. I look forward to the Singapore noodle recipe in your new book too!

December 17, 2018 at 6:51 amThis was so delicious! I used einkorn wheat spaghetti instead of regular noodles. A real crowd pleaser, as I made lots of this for a potluck dinner.

March 6, 2019 at 5:27 amWhat a simple yet super tasty & fresh dish! I saw you post this on IG yesterday & I was like, “Wait a minute… I think I have all of those ingredients!” I had just enough time to whip it up. As it turned out, the pepper I had in the fridge had passed, so I added extra carrots & cabbage. I am more of an “eyeball it” cook when it comes to following recipes 😆 so I think I added much more chili paste than the recipe called for as well as more veggies but that was okay because we love it. 😉 I love how all of your recipes are still so darn tasty even with my “eyeball it” method of cooking. 👍🏼 Thank you for sharing!! 😊
