This is one of my “go to” recipes for a lazy day in the kitchen. For the past two weeks, almost every other day was a lazy kitchen day. Yeah, it was a mini vacation for us. We didnt travel anywhere, for a change we decided to stay back in Bahrain. Surprisingly we had a great time, catching up on some of our favourite TV shows, movies and books.
For me the highlight of any holiday, is staying away from kitchen as far as possible. But since we were here and since it was Ramadan time and hotels were closed during day time that wasn't feasible. However I used all my energy to make plans to ensure that cooking is kept to bare minimum ;)
Here is the recipe…
Cook the noodles as per packet instructions and keep aside…
Heat oil in a wok or a deep and wide pan. Scramble the eggs and keep aside. In the same pan, add more oil if required, add chopped onion and garlic…
When onion becomes soft, add rest of the veggies, except spring onion. Add salt. Cover and cook till the veggies are done. Once the veggies are done, add pepper powder and the sauces. Mix well and increase the heat to maximum for a min or two, if you like the smoky taste…
Reduce heat to the minimum and add scrambled eggs, spring onion and noodles. Mix well. Cook on low flame for a min or two. Serve hot…

Notes
It's not necessary to use the sauces. Sometimes I dont use any sauce at all. It tastes great even without the sauces. Sometimes I add some chicken stock cubes to enhance the flavour. Other times, I add crushed red chilli and garlic paste, for a different taste.
Hi madam luks really yum…. madam a small request here can u please help with ur Garam masala powder recipe which u use for pepper chicken I just missed it somehow….thanks
Hi Shwetha,
Thank you :) You can use any store bought garam masala for that recipe. Though I make it at home, I dont have exact measurements. I use cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, fennel seeds and black pepper to make garam masala.

Thanks Sangeetha dear :)
Hi Melissa,
Thank you! Hakka noodles is different from two minute noodles. Hakka noodles has very long strands compared to two minutes and the texture is also different.
Please do a google image search to get an idea..
I do hope you could find some hakka noodles soon to try out this recipe.
Cheers
