Notes
Tips:
1) First of all, stick to the instructions in the noodles packet to cook your noodles. Also, remember at any stage overcooking the noodles will yield sticky noodles which will alter the original taste and texture.
2) Also, you can use red chilli flakes in places of chilli sauce. I don't find any difference in taste when using chilli flakes. But Indian chilli powder won't work out definitely.
3) Don't skip cabbage and green onions as they are the main veggies in Chinese noodles.
4) Finally, you can increase or decrease the sauce based on your liking.
