Spring onions - about a cup chopped

Bean sprouts - about 2 handfulls or more if u like them :)

Soy Sauce

Chilli sauce (optional)
Vinegar

Salt

Pepper

Oil ( i tried with olive oil.. it was good )

This is how you do  :

1. Boil water(about 10 cups) with some oil and salt and put in the noodles and cook for 2 min.

2. Drain the water and put the noodles in cool water and keep aside.

3. On a high flame heat oil in a wok(its easy to make in a wok or a pan)

4. Add the onions, cabbage, carrots, beans and toss them or sauté them or stir fry till the veggies become a bit soft but be careful be careful not to burn them.

5. Add the capsicum and again toss.

6 .Now drain water and add the noodles, soy sauce, chilli sauce, salt and    

pepper and toss well for about a minute or two.

You have to be a bit quick and careful so that you don't burn the veggies :)
