Ingredients:

• A pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon oil (for boiling noodles)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 1 capsicum, chopped
• Cabbage, chopped (quantity as preferred)
• Green onion (scallions), finely chopped
• 2-3 tablespoons oil (for cooking)
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
• A small piece of ginger, grated
• 1-2 green chillies, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup

Instructions:

1. Boil Noodles: Start by boiling 200 g of noodles in a pot of water with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of oil. Cook until the noodles are al dente, then drain the water and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.

2. Prepare Vegetables: Chop the onion, carrot, capsicum, and cabbage into fine pieces. Also, finely chop the green onion and separate the white and green parts.

3. Heat Oil and Sauté Aromatics: In a large pan, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chillies, and sauté until fragrant.

4. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, the white part of the green onion, carrot, and capsicum to the pan. Stir-fry these ingredients until they are slightly soft, then add the chopped cabbage. Continue to stir-fry on high flame for 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Season: Once the cabbage softens, lower the flame and add soy sauce, vinegar, chili sauce, and ketchup. Mix well to combine the flavors.

6. Combine Noodles and Toss: Raise the heat back to high and carefully add the boiled noodles to the pan. Toss gently to ensure that the noodles are coated evenly with the sauce and mixed well with the vegetables. Fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

7. Finish and Serve: Turn off the flame and sprinkle in the green part of the chopped green onion. Give it one last mix before serving.
