These Chicken Hakka Noodles are a childhood favorite, and to date its one of my most beloved comfort foods. When I was younger, my mom would make these chicken Hakka noodles quite a lot, and I would very happily eat them each time.
Hakka Noodles are a quick and easy delicious recipe. Like all Indo-Chinese recipes though, they involve chopping vegetables and also require fast cooking on high heat.
So I always have all the ingredients prepped and chopped before beginning to cook these Hakka noodles.
What Kind of Noodles Should You Use for Hakka noodles?
I used regular spaghetti in this recipe as you can see in the pictures. But egg noodles would be a great option too.
How to Make Chicken Hakka Noodles
Start by boiling the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and toss with 1-2 tablespoons of oil, and set aside while you prep everything else.
In a wok, add the garlic and ginger paste in oil, and cook for 10-15 seconds while stirring.
Add the chicken and cook on high heat until the chicken changes colour and is cooked through. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced onion and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Don’t let the onion brown.
Then add the other vegetables (I used cabbage, carrot, and green bell pepper) and stir fry on high heat for a few more minutes until the vegetables are just softened enough.
Add the noodles, soy sauce, chilli garlic sauce and toss until everything is completely coated with the sauce.
Top with sliced green onion, and serve immediately.
Variations of Hakka Noodles
It’s so easy to customize Hakka Noodles to your taste.
Veg Hakka Noodles:
For vegetarian or Veg Hakka Noodles, just omit the chicken and add more veggies such as slices mushrooms and bean sprouts. Even green beans would be delicious in these Hakka noodles.
Seafood Hakka Noodles:
For a seafood version, you can just add some shrimp instead of the chicken and it should be a delicious seafood Hakka noodles version.
So, really, the best thing about these Hakka noodles is that they are very customizable and very good for a cleaning out your fridge kind of day! 🙂
