Introduction
When you walk into one of the best Indo-Chinese restaurants, the common question that comes to mind while looking at the Chinese Menu is: What makes Hakka noodles different from regular noodles?
While all noodles share a common base, strands of wheat or rice dough, the way they are cooked, seasoned and served is what creates magic.
Hakka noodles are made of wheat flour noodles that are boiled and then stir-fried with vegetables, sauces and sometimes meat.
Hakka Noodles are usually made from wheat flour, water and sometimes egg. They are yellow in color and slightly chewy in texture. They maintain the neutrality in flavor, which makes them perfect for absorbing sauces like soy, garlic and chilli sauce.
In Indo-Chinese cuisine, Hakka noodles are typically tossed with Shredded cabbage, carrots, capsicum, onions, garlic, ginger green chillies, soy sauce and vinegar for seasoning. If you want to try the best Hakka Noodles in Delhi, order at Berco’s.
