Recipe for Hakka-style egg noodles made with lots of vegetables. Easy and perfect lunch box recipe.
This is a very easy stir-fried egg noodle you can make at home and this is my way of doing it. This is a perfect lunch box recipe as it has eggs for protein, veggies that get into the meal effortlessly and of course carbs. You can mix and match the veggies and protein depending on what you have in your fridge. I prep the veggies the previous day for cooking in the morning. I am no morning person so everything is prepped and ready to go once I start my stove. I like to make this dish a little spicy by adding a dash of green chilli sauce and Maggi hot and sweet sauce (that’s my favourite condiment from childhood) and other spices. I have used Egg hakka noodles but regular noodles will work just fine. Hope you try this recipe at home for your family.

Paneer tortilla wrap – Easy and delicious after-school snack perfect for that quick bite. Easy to prepare and comes together in minutes
Here is a recipe for an easy and quick wrap made with paneer and veggies. Having tortillas or chapatis lying in your fridge can come in handy as you can put together a quick meal in minutes. The filling for this wrap has paneer, onion, tomato, capsicum, garlic, and a lot of spices. You can replace paneer with tofu or protein of your choice. Make the filling and keep it ready in the fridge so you can pull a fantastic wrap in minutes when you want to make something for that quick bite. I have used readymade tortilla for this recipe but chapati will work just fine. I have added grated cheese for that extra richness and it also keeps the filling together from falling. Hope you will try this recipe.
I have used Kashmiri red chilli powder mainly for the colour. As for the oregano seasoning, I have just used the seasoning packets that come along when we order pizzas. I save it and use it in dishes like this all the time. If you do not have it, you can omit it or use any seasoning of your choice.
This recipe makes about 6 wraps that are filling and makes for a meal in itself. These wraps travel well too making it perfect for packing in a school lunch box or for a picnic.
