Jain Hakka Noodles Recipe (No Onion, No Garlic, No Carrot)

Lightly spiced, stir-fried noodles packed with veggies — without compromising your beliefs. These Jain-style Hakka noodles are quick, colorful, and perfect for weeknight dinners or potluck parties.

 Ingredients

 Base:

• 150–200g Hakka noodles (eggless, Jain-friendly)
• 1 tbsp oil (preferably sesame or vegetable oil)
• Salt for boiling noodles

 Veggies (customizable):

• ½ cup shredded cabbage
• ¼ cup capsicum (any color), thinly sliced
• ¼ cup French beans, finely chopped
  
• ¼ cup boiled sweet corn or baby corn (sliced)

 Sauces & Seasonings:

• 1 tsp soy sauce (check for no onion/garlic version)
• 1 tsp green chili sauce (Jain-friendly)
• 1 tsp vinegar (white or rice vinegar)
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Salt to taste
• Optional: pinch of sugar for balance

 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Boil the Noodles:
   Boil water with salt. Add the noodles and cook until 90% done (al dente).
   Rinse under cold water immediately to stop cooking.
   Drizzle a little oil and toss to avoid sticking. Set aside.
   🧠 Pro tip: Don’t overcook the noodles or they’ll turn mushy when stir-fried.
2. Prep the Veggies:
   Thinly slice and shred all veggies for that classic "Hakka" texture.
   Skip carrots, onion, and garlic completely — use crunchy greens like cabbage and beans instead.
3. Stir-Fry the Veggies:
   Heat oil in a large wok or kadai on high flame.
   Add beans, corn, cabbage, and capsicum. Stir-fry on high for 2–3 minutes.
   Add soy sauce, green chili sauce, vinegar, pepper, and salt. Mix well.
4. Add the Noodles:
   Add the boiled noodles to the stir-fried vegetables.
   Toss everything gently to coat the noodles evenly.
   🧠 Jain hack: Add a few drops of lemon juice or amchur for a little zing without using garlic chili paste.
5. Serve Hot:
   Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds if you like. Pair with Jain Manchurian or enjoy solo!

 Variations & Add-Ons

• Spicy Jain Noodles: Add a little Jain red chili paste made from soaked chilies and cumin.
• Nutty Twist: Toss in some crushed peanuts or cashews for crunch.
• Gluten-Free: Use rice noodles or millet noodles for a Jain + GF version.
