Chinese Bhel Recipe

Chinese Bhel is a crispy, spicy, flavorsome Indo-Chinese street food. Crispy fried noodles are served as Chinese chaat or a crunchy salad. It has trucks of crispy fried noodles, colorful vegetables, and the bold schezwan sauce. Chinese Bhel is a kind of snack, you would want to munch while watching a favorite movie and drinking chilled beer.

The flavors of this Chinese Chaat are quite balanced and has the right amount of sweetness along with the spiciness. It is truly a kaleidoscope of colors.

Snacks like this fried noodle salad add so much variety to the appetizer menu. It is always on my list of best Indo-Chinese party recipes.   

The popular Indo-Chinese cuisine barely has any salads. So whenever you think of interesting salads/side-dishes to serve with the other appetizers this fried noodle salad or my Chinese Chicken Salad is a fantastic choice.

How To Make Chinese Bhel in 20 Minutes:

The quickest and the easiest way to make this Chinese Bhel in a flick of a second is to fry a large batch of noodles and store. That is right, you can keep the crispy noodles in an airtight container at room temperature for near about a week. And they are equally crunchy and fresh. 

Usually, when I am planning to make Chinese Bhel salad for parties, fried noodles are prepared one or two days in advance. Last-minute, simply toss the noodles in seasoning along with chopped vegetables. And a delicious party snack is ready in less than 20 minutes.

Ways To Use Fried Noodles:

use them as topping for Chinese soups (manchow soup, sweet corn soup, etc)

sprinkle them on Asian style salads like I do in this Chinese Chicken Salad for that extra crunch

prepare delicious Chinese chop suey using these fried noodles

add a handful of fried noodles on top of one-pot soupy meals 

…….or just munch them just like that!

Ingredients

Ingredients For Fried Noodles:

  • 150 gram dry Hakka noodles
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 Cups refined oil (or any flavourless oil)
  • Water to boil noodles

Ingredients For Chinese Bhel:

  • 1 medium-size onion fine chopped
  • 1 medium-size capsicum diced
  • 1 Cup shredded cabbage (optional)
  • 1 medium-size carrot thinly sliced
  • half a bunch of coriander leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoon spring onion, fine chopped
  • 2 teaspoon schezwan sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon tomato ketchup
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

How To Make Fried Noodles:

  • Boil the noodles in hot water as per packet instructions. Add salt in water while boiling noodles. Drain water from the boiled noodles and wash it under cold water to prevent more cooking.
  • Heat oil for deep-frying pan over high heat. 
  • Once the oil is preheated deep fry the boiled noodles in small batches till they turn crispy. Each batch takes 10 -15 minutes to get golden and crisp. Keep turning the noodles using tongs at regular intervals. 
  • Transfer fried noodles to a plate lined with paper towel and set aside. Similarly, fry all the noodles in small batches.
  • Let the noodles sit on an oil absorbing paper for 10 – 15 minutes.

How To Make Chinese Bhel:

  • Gently crush the noodles to get the bite size pieces.
  • Into a large bowl stir in all the chopped vegetables, sauces and the fried noodles.
  • Combine all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasoning. 
  • Serve Chinese Bhel immediately.

Recipe Notes:

  • If you don’t want to use fried noodles immediately, allow them to cool down and store in an airtight box at room temperature for 2 – 3 days. 
  • After combining sauces, vegetables and fried noodles, serve Chaat immediately else noodles lose their crunchiness and turn soggy.
