Hakka Noodles

I had never loved Chinese food much while I was in India. My mom would also not make it very often, since almost all dishes require use of soya sauce and vinegar. In USA, I found it difficult to sit and eat in authentic Chinese Restaurants due to smell problems. Gradually I started making few dishes at home. Now I can perfectly make Hakka Noodles. With soup, it has become our favorite Friday Dinner Menu.
