Directions
First, cook the noodles in salted water. They should be slightly firm, as they will cook further later with the vegetables and spices. Then drain them.
Peel and grate the carrots.
Remove the seeds from the inside of the capsicums and chop them.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and the green chilies.
Add all the vegetables: capsicums, carrots, green chilies, broccoli heads and cabbage.
After 2 minutes, add the soy sauce, tomato sauce, salt and pepper and mix well.
Add the boiled noodles. Stir and cook over low heat for 4 to 5 minutes.
Ready! Enjoy your chowmein with a hot or cold drink, a sauce (chutney) and/or pickles.
