For Fried Noodles:

  • 1 cup Noodles
  • Water
  • Salt
  • 4 tbsp Oil
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • Oil for frying

For Vegetable Stock:

  • Any Vegetable Trimmings
  • 1.5 l Water

For Cornstarch Slurry:

  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Water

For the Broth:

  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic (chopped)
  • 1 inch Ginder (chopped)
  • 1-2 Green Chili (chopped)
  • 1 medium Onions (chopped)
  • Prepared Vegetable Stock (strained)
  • ¼ medium Cabbage (chopped)
  • 1 small Carrot (chopped)
  • 5-6 Mushrooms (sliced)
  • 5-6 French Beans
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Vinegar
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper Powder
  • ½ tsp Sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • Cornstarch Slurry
  • Coriander Leaves

Instructions
 

  • Boil water in a pot, add noodles, and cook it for 8-10 minutes on high flame. Strain the water, and add salt and cornstarch to them.
  • Take a wok, and heat oil in it. Now add the noodles, and fry them on high flame till they turn golden brown. Set the fried noodles aside for later.
  • Boil water in the same pot as the noodles, and add all the vegetable trimmings. Boil and simmer for 15 minutes (or longer for more flavor).
  • In a skillet, strain the excess oil from wok, and saute ginger, garlic, and green chilies on high flame for a minute.
  • Strain the vegetable stock, and add it to the wok. Continue cooking on high flame and bring it to a boil.
  • Add cabbage, carrots, french beans, and mushrooms. Saute and let them cook on high flame.
  • Add soy sauce, black pepper powder, salt, and sugar. Give them a nice mix.
  • Make a cornstarch slurry in a small bowl, and pour it slowly into the broth while simultaneously stirring and mixing with the spatula to thicken the soup.
  • Finally, garnish it with coriander leaves, and while serving add fried noodles on top.
  • Your veg manchow soup is ready to be served.

Notes

  • Use your imagination when frying noodles. You can make any type of shape like circles, flowers, and so on.
  • Instead of making a vegetable stock, you can pour hot water.
  • Garnish the soup with spring onion greens if they are available to you.
 
How to store:
Store it in a fridge for 3-4 days to maintain the same textures and flavors. I don't recommend freezing it as the soup will lose its features and get soggy.
After reheating the soup, freshly fry the noodles and add it on top for the same crunchiness.
Meal prep it by making small batches in air-tight containers
