Hakka noodles

Its a very rainy day. Landslides and floods are predicted in parts of my state. All of us are cooped up indoors. To brighten the mood and atmosphere, my husband has lit candles on our Swedish candleholders. He has also put a few drops of lavender oil in the candle wax. The fragrance from the oil is pleasing and uplifting and also helps keep insects and bugs away that are plenty this monsoon season.
 
In my younger days, my family's favourite eatery was a Chinese restaurant called Mallaya. I used to like their Chinese fried rice and noodles. 
  
For this recipe, I marinated the vegetables in soya sauce and spices, which helped reduce the cooking time and retain their crunchiness.
