Chicken Sausage Noodles

Ingredients: 

• Veggies:

  • 1 packet Hakka  noodles
  • Salt to taste
  • 1–2 tbsp Oil (for noodles + cooking)
  • 4–5 Chicken sausages, cut into small pieces
  • 1 big Onion, sliced
  • 1 Capsicum, chopped
  • 1 Tomato, chopped (reserve the juices)
  • 5–6 cloves Garlic, roughly chopped

• For the Sauce Mixture:

• Reserved  Tomato juices 
• 3/4 tbsp Soya sauce 
• 1 tbsp  Green chili sauce 
• 1 tbsp  Hot and sweet sauce (or tomato ketchup)

• For the Sausage Marination:

  • 1 sachet  Maggi masala or Magic Masala 
  • ½ tsp Red chili powder 
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice

Instructions: 

1. Boil the Noodles:
   • In a utensil, bring water to a boil and add salt.
   • Once the water is boiling, add the noodles.
   • (In boiling water, you can also put oil to prevent sticking. Usually, noodles are cooked till al dente, which means firm to bite. But we prefer noodles well cooked, so I have cooked them properly.)
   • Once done, strain the noodles. Run them under tap water and keep them aside till the water drains out.
2. Prepare the Sauce Mixture:
   • In a bowl, combine the reserved tomato juices, soya sauce, green chili sauce, and hot & sweet sauce (or ketchup).
   • Mix and keep aside.
3. Marinate the Sausages:
   • Cut the sausages into small pieces.
   • Add Maggi masala, red chilli powder, and lemon juice.
   • Mix well and let it rest for a few minutes.
4. Cook the Main Mix:
   • Heat oil in a pan.
   • Add onions and sauté until slightly pink.
   • Add chopped garlic and sauté briefly, just enough to keep its crunch.
   • Add capsicum and cook until slightly tender but still crisp.
   • Add chopped tomatoes and cook until soft.
   • Add the marinated sausages and mix everything well.
   • Pour in the prepared sauce mixture and stir to combine.
   • Finally, add the boiled noodles and toss everything together until evenly coated with the sauce.
   • Check  the salt at the end and adjust according to your taste, since sauces, sausages and boiled noodles already contain salt.
5. Serve:
   • Once everything is mixed and heated through, your delicious Chicken Sausage Noodles are ready to serve hot.

Tips: 

1. Noodles taste best when cooked al dente (slightly firm). Avoid overcooking unless you prefer them soft.
2. Adding a little oil while boiling prevents noodles from sticking.
3. You can add vegetables of your choice such as carrots, beans, peas, mushrooms, or cabbage.
4. If you don’t have hot & sweet sauce, use tomato ketchup and a pinch of chili flakes or red chili sauce.
5. For extra flavor, add a little pepper or vinegar.
