Instructions
Boil 200 g hakka noodles according to package directions, until just al dente. Drain immediately and toss in a drizzle of oil to avoid clumping.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon chilli masala sauce, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and optionally, 1 pinch sugar.
In a large hot, heat 1 ½ tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until smoking. Add 40 g spring onion whites, 3 cloves garlic, 2 green finger chillies, and ½ inch ginger (all minced). Stir-fry for a few seconds, until aromatic.
Next, add 100 g broccoli and 200 g paneer to the pan. Cook until both are slightly browned, then add the remaining vegetables: 100 g carrot, 80 g bell pepper, and 40 g red onion. Cook, moving often, until the vegetables are just done, but retain most of their crunch.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan and pour over the prepared stir-fry sauce. Toss to coat in the sauce and mix well. Turn off the heat and serve hot.
Notes
Be sure to prep the vegetables before starting your wok.
