Noodles are my favourite and schezuan noodles is on the top.. Although the colour is not so dark compared to the restaurants but it is definitely because they add a drop of colour which we don't.. but trust me the taste is soo much same.. You will just love it..
Fast and easy to make. Noodles taste great with Schezuan sauce, chilli oil and blend well with carrot, capsicum strips and bean sprouts.
