Egg Noodles

Noodles recipes are very popular and mainly the most important staple food over all parts of the world. Noodles recipes are mainly a recognizable cuisine from the Asian countries. The basic recipe preparation is similar to the standard of boiling the noodles and stir-frying the vegetables alongside by adding to the varieties of sauces that is been used in different recipes. The noodles preparation is considered to be one of the simplest recipes among the most infamous cuisines of all times. The Chinese noodle recipes are the most famous ones which also include varieties in it such as the Hakka noodles, egg-chowmien noodles, fried noodles etc.

I have always liked the Chinese cuisine and any time given a choice be it for lunch or dinner, I would always prefer to eat Chinese over any other traditional or Indian foods or whatsoever. Also, since I'm from Kolkata, I find it is very famous for the street foods and noodles as the most popular among all, it has always attracted people all over the country too. I just love to taste the variations usually these street vendors offer in every corner of the city.

At home, we normally don’t miss out to prepare chowmein noodles during the weekends. As the preparation does not require much of hard work and also it is the most craving food in the family. We normally buy the master pack of the noodles for our monthly food bazaar and store the packet on the kitchen shelf to use it whenever the appetizer craves for. For this noodles recipe I have mainly used eggs and peas, keeping the other ingredients intact as usual, however, you can also add or replace any vegetables of your choice to make it more colorful and nutritious. I've used Frozen peas for this recipe, but fresh peas can also be used in it, just that you don't have to boil the fresh peas and put them along with the other veggies and stir fry. I have not added vinegar and chili sauce because this recipe is very much recommendable for the children, so I did not want to make it spicy and chemically bound, instead, it has been prepared keeping in mind the health benefits of the children and also for the grownups. 

Serve the homemade Egg-Peas Noodles hot along with some salads for the ultimate street food pleasure and beat the weekday's blues by motivating your appetite with this easy and healthy noodles recipe right at your home.
