schezwan noodles recipe | szechuan noodles | veg schezwan noodles with detailed photo and video recipe. a popular and flavoured noodles recipe made with thin noodles and schezwan sauce. it is popular street food in india which can be served as a party starter or even as a meal for lunch and dinner. the recipe is made similar to any other noodles recipe but is made with generous amount of schezwan sauce as its base.
i have posted quite a few schezwan recipes in my blog, including a recipe post for schezwan sauce itself. however, in this post i have used store bought veeba sauce which i personally recommend if you do not wish to make sauce from scratch. as a matter of fact, this is a sponsored recipe post from veeba. in addition, the spice level in the veeba sauce is apt and perhaps can be liked by everyone. basically, the spice level is medium but can be easily controlled by adding more. but if you do not have access to it, you can always look into my schezwan sauce recipe and make it from scratch. or you can also use any store bought as per your taste preference.
furthermore, i would like to add some more tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect spicy schezwan noodles recipe. firstly, you can make these noodles with any choice of noodles variations. but i would heavily recommend using hakka noodles compared to others like rice noodles or thick noodles. secondly, if you are using store-bought schezwan sauce, inspect the spice level before using it in the recipe. each sauce has it own variations in the spice level and you may have to adjust the quantity accordingly. lastly, once the cooked noodles are added to the pan, do not over mix it. be gentle and perhaps use fork or spoon to mix it in a high flame.
