Chinese Bhel

I had a whole menu planned and recipes to put out on the blog… but that just didn’t happen. sometimes it be like that. Fun fact this recipe was actually supposed to be for my thanksgiving series LOL! It has been so crazy the last two-three weeks, my mil’s in India so I have no help or time to get anything done with two littles. Okay enough of my rant.. Let’s talk about this recipe, it’s so quick and easy and guaranteed a crowd pleaser. I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. Its crunchy, tangy, and spicy…I mean, what’s not to love.

You can probably find readymade fried noodles at the Indian grocery store, but I didn’t so I made my own. You can do this step about a week in advance and store in an airtight container. I used Ching’s noodles, chili sauce, and soy sauce. I make my own schezwan sauce, but if you don’t have time, you can definitely use chings schezwan sauce as well. Homemade schezwan sauce is really versatile and can be used in other dishes like my schezwan vegetable frankie, manchurian frankie, schezwan garlic noodles, or Cheesy Schezwan pull apart bread.
