these for lunch. Even my little one asks mac and cheese for lunch box. I love
the taste of hakka noodles, now days I am not using spaghetti.

How to make Shezwan sauce:
In a pan heat 2 tablespoon of oil, add 1 tablespoon chopped
garlic, sauté it for few minutes. Next add 2 tablespoon chili pastes (soak red
chili in water and grind to paste by removing seeds), cook until raw smell
leaves. Add ½ tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp tomato ketchup mix well and sauté
for another minute. Next add salt, ¼ cup water and 1 tsp brown sugar mix well
and cook for a minute turn of the stove. Sauce is ready to use now.
Notes:
- Adding vegetables is your choice you can increase or decrease the quantity; I use to add more in that way kids get more veges. You can use different noodles too.
- If you need spicier add more chili paste, while preparing shezwan sauce.
- You can add garam masala while adding shezwan sauce to noodles its optional I use to add some time. This gives Indian touch.
- Instead of tomato paste you can add tomato pure when adding tomato paste it give nice color.
