(slit lengthwise)
3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
3 tbsp Schezwan Sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
1 tbsp Soy Sauce (light soy sauce recommended)
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
0.5 tsp Sugar (to balance flavors)
0.5 tsp Salt (or to taste)
0.25 tsp White Pepper Powder
1 tbsp Cornflour
2 tbsp Water (for cornflour slurry)
2 tbsp Spring Onion Greens (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
1
Preparation
Wash, chop, and prepare all the vegetables as mentioned in the ingredients list. Keep them ready for quick stir-frying.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp of cornflour and 2 tbsp of water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
2
Sauté Aromatics
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or a large, heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. The oil should be shimmering.
Add the finely chopped garlic, ginger, and slit green chilies. Stir-fry for 30-45 seconds until they release their aroma, being careful not to burn them.
3
Stir-fry Vegetables
Add the onion petals and sauté for 1 minute until they turn translucent.
Add the harder vegetables: carrots, french beans, and broccoli. Stir-fry continuously on high heat for 2-3 minutes.
Now, add the softer vegetables: bell peppers and baby corn. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes. The vegetables should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
4
Add Sauces and Seasonings
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the Schezwan sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and white pepper powder to the wok.
Toss everything together quickly and thoroughly, ensuring all the vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
5
Thicken and Garnish
Give the cornflour slurry a quick stir to recombine it, then pour it into the wok.
Stir continuously for about 1 minute as the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, coating the vegetables beautifully.
Turn off the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped spring onion greens.
6
Serve
Serve the Schezwan Vegetables immediately while hot with your choice of steamed rice, fried rice, or Hakka noodles.

1
Boil the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tsp of salt and the noodles. Cook according to package directions until al dente (usually 5-7 minutes). Drain immediately, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, and toss with 1 tsp of vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

4
Stir-fry the vegetables: Add the spring onion whites and sliced onion to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute until the onions become translucent. Add the julienned carrots and capsicum, and continue to stir-fry on high heat for 2-3 minutes. The vegetables should be tender yet crisp.

Combine and toss: Add the cooked noodles to the wok, followed by the prepared sauce mixture and salt. Using a pair of tongs, toss everything together vigorously for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce and heated through.
6
Garnish and serve: Turn off the heat. Add the chopped spring onion greens and give it a final toss. Serve the Chilli Garlic Noodles hot.
