American Chopsuey

        
        American Chopsuey is a delightful preparation of crispy noodles served with vegetables and a sweet and tangy sauce. I have had this dish only in India and have loved it over the years, never in America actually. It is served as a Chinese dish in India, with the name America, but the recipe is entirely Indian, except maybe for the noodles. I wonder where did it get this funky name from.

Anyways, here is a quick recipe for the same:

Ingredients:

• 1 packet Hakka Noodles
• 1 Onion Sliced
• 1 bunch of Green Onions Chopped
• 1 Bell Pepper Sliced (Can use colored bell peppers as well)
• 1 small bowl of Cabbage Chopped
• 2 Tomatoes Sliced
• Tomato Ketchup
• Hot Sauce
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp corn flour
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tbsp vinegar
• Oil

Recipe:

• Boil the noodles.
• Take some noodles, say 15%, and deep fry them making some crispy noodles on the side.
• Heat some oil in a pan and fry the cumin seeds until they begin to crackle.
• Add onions to it. Saute them till the onions turn pink. Add little salt. 
• Now add bell peppers. Continue to saute until the peppers are soft.
• Now add the cabbage and green onions to it.
• Once the cabbage is cooked, add the tomatoes.
• Add about 2-3 glasses of water and mix it well and continue cooking it for 5-10 mins
• Now add the ketchup, black pepper and salt
• Add hot sauce according to the desired spiciness 
• Now mix the corn flour in cold water and add it to the pan
• Mix it well and let it simmer for 5 mins on slow-medium heat
• Once the sauce thickens, add the lemon juice and vinegar
• Take it off the heat.
• Garnish it with spring onions and fried noodles and serve hot.

Hope you enjoy this my version of the American Chopsuey.
