Steps In Making
For Fried Noodles
- In a bowl add boiled noddle’s and sprinkle corn flour on it. Now mix well so all the noodles are well coated with the corn flour.
- Heat oil in a kadai. Fry the noodles for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until they get a nice light brown colour and become crisp. Do not over cook, as the noodles will darken once they will cool down.
For Veg Manchow Soup
- Heat oil in a pan and then add finely chopped ginger, garlic and green chillies. Sauté them for a minute.
- Now add spring onions and sauté for another minute.
- Further add all the finely chopped vegetables; carrots, cabbage, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers and sweet corn. Cook for 2 minutes on high heat, do not over cook them.
- Now add hot water and bring two to three boils.
- Now add salt, black pepper powder, vinegar, soy sauce, green chilli sauce, red chilli sauce and mix well. Let it simmer on medium flame for another 3-4 minutes.
- To prepare the corn flour slurry in a bowl add corn flour and water and mix till there are no lumps.
- Now while stirring it continuously, add the slurry in the soup so it doesn’t form any lumps. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Finally add spring onions and fresh coriander.
- Veg Manchow soup is ready. Serve it in a bowl and top it with fried noodles and spring onions.

Recipe Notes
- You can add any vegetables of your choice.
- You can take any noodles, do not over boil them.
- Always cut finely chopped vegetables else it will take a longer time to cook, which will result in soggy vegetables, whereas we want a nice bite and crunch in them.
- You can always increase or decrease the amount of seasoning like soy sauce and vinegar as per your preference.
