ABOUT Udon Noodles with Beans RECIPE

Almost everyone loves Chinese food and India has developed its own version of “Indianised” Chinese cuisine which is a favourite in almost every state.Cal Chinese, Continental” menu! “Mein” refers to the noodles made in China.There are almost 15 varieties of Chinese Noddles and each have their own shape and used in various recipes. Udon Noodles are flat and bigger than the ones used for Hakka Noodles or Chowmein in India.During winters, the markets get flooded with myriads of fresh and crunchy vegetables!Its a sin not to eat veggies when they are at their juiciest best!I love all the kinds of beans – French Beans,Sugar Snap Peas,String Beans,Wal Beans…the list is endless! I decided to give Udon Noodles a “beany twist” and changed the sauces and the result was this awesome tasting creation.
