Easy 1 Pot Vegetable Hakka Noodles. Indo Chinese Hakka Noodles with peppers, onions, cabbage, carrots and a simple sauce. Vegan Nutfree Recipe. Can be gluten-free.
Indo Chinese food is a big category of its own in Indian cuisine. There are several dishes that make up the cuisine. The dishes are known for being heavily influenced by chinese dishes and then they are amped up with things like garlic, ginger, green chile, spices and more.
These Hakka Noodles are a staple side that goes well with any of the Indo Chinese veggie mains like Manchurian(book 1), or a Chilli Tofu paneer.
To make this into a meal, add some baked tofu or some vegan meat subs marinated in soy sauce + minced ginger+ garlic. I like to make these with peppers, onion, cabbage and any other veggies that I have, and some greens. These noodles are super easy, 1 Pot, peppery and a great light weeknight meal.
Easy, quick and amazing flavor!

I liked it but felt it easily could use double the sauce, and I’m not even one who likes alot of sauces. It was still too dry for me
Richa
You can double the sauce. It depends on the noodles, some noodles absorb a lot of moisture so then the sauce disappears. These noodles are also usually served with a saucy side like manchurian sauce with tofu or veggie balls etc.

Super quick and super easy! Only had vermicelli in the cupboard and they worked a treat.

whatever works sometimes 🍜

How spicy is this recipe? Will it still taste good with very little Sriracha sauce? I want to give this to my kids who don’t like the spice too much.
Vegan Richa Support
sure – it’s totally optional – you could just add a little to your dish if you like.
Rani
Very nice Richa thank you, and easy to make. Have a nice Chinese New Year holiday next week.

Hi Richa, i made this recipe without cabbage (not a fan of cabbage :p) and used rice noodles instead of hakka noodles – tastes awesome!!

Hey I have a question. A serving serves how much people? Because i’m hosting a party and want to know how much I should make or how many servings. I’m hosting a party for about 50 people. If you respond by tomorrow morning that’ll be great! Nice recipe…
Richa
if its a side, then 4 people
Paayal Kripalani
Hey, is it ok to skip the soy sauce?
Richa
Sure, add some more flavor with ginger garlic or a chili sauce

What a simple yet super tasty & fresh dish! I saw you post this on IG yesterday & I was like, “Wait a minute… I think I have all of those ingredients!” I had just enough time to whip it up. As it turned out, the pepper I had in the fridge had passed, so I added extra carrots & cabbage. I am more of an “eyeball it” cook when it comes to following recipes 😆 so I think I added much more chili paste than the recipe called for as well as more veggies but that was okay because we love it. 😉 I love how all of your recipes are still so darn tasty even with my “eyeball it” method of cooking. 👍🏼 Thank you for sharing!! 😊
Richa
awesome! yes thats how recipes should be 🙂
J Shirey
Absolutely! 🙌🏼
Divya
This was so delicious! I used einkorn wheat spaghetti instead of regular noodles. A real crowd pleaser, as I made lots of this for a potluck dinner.
Richa
awesome!
Merl
what can I use in place of garlic sauce or chilli sauce? Cos my kids cannot eat spicy food. Thank you.
Richa
omit them. you can add a tsp of ketchup
Kira
I make this frequently and love it! Easy, quick and healthy! Thank you!
Karen
This was very good Richa. Simple and satisfying. I used brown rice & millet ramen, and would double the cabbage next time since it cooks down so much. I look forward to the Singapore noodle recipe in your new book too!
Richa
Awesome!
Cassie Autumn Tran
This noodle dish looks wonderful! I never even knew that Indo Chinese cuisine existed! Definitely want to try it out!
Sue
This was delicious! I made a double recipe and the four of us devoured it. I chilled it for an hour before serving because its’ such a hot day. I hope you don’t get tired of hearing this, but, “Richa, thanks for another winning recipe) 🙂
Richa
yay! I am glad you loved it! The pepper would have heated you up on the hot day 🙂
Marina
I think I will get a small cake of firm tofu and slice it up fairly thinly then marinate it in the soy sauce, etc. (maybe add a touch of sesame oil as well), and substitute this marinated tofu for the cabbage which I can’t eat. Hopefully that will work.
Richa
try my hoisin noodle stir fry that uses tofu. https://www.veganricha.com/2017/01/tofu-brown-rice-noodles-hoisin-sauce.html
Lisa
This looks really good, thanks. Nice and easy and straightforward, which is what I need these days. I’ll put it on Instagram when I make them.
I also want to try Singapore noodles, which I LOVE but have never made at home. If you feel like giving them a go sometime, I’d love to see your recipe . 🙂 All the best.
Richa
Awesome! I have singapore noodles in my upcoming book, so the recipe might not show up on the blog 🙂
Lisa
What a wonderful coincidence that they’re in your new book! I’ll look for that recipe. ????
