- Add cabbage, carrots, and capsicum.
- Stir-fry on high flame for 2–3 minutes — the veggies should stay crunchy!
Step 3: Add Sauces and Noodles
- Lower the flame slightly and add soy sauce, chili sauce, ketchup, vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Now add the boiled noodles and toss gently using tongs or chopsticks.
- Make sure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and veggies.
