When food is on your mind,that's what your conversations over chat with friends revolve around. One late afternoon sitting at work, getting hungry, and Joylita comes up with this brilliant idea of making Chinese food for the evening. (BTW Chinese/Indian/Spicy food goes along great with a bottle of Barefoot Moscato). So this is my contribution to the Chinese dinner. She decided to make spicy Shezwan Chicken, so I stuck to making a kinda mild version of egg noodles to compliment the tangy chicken gravy.

2. Cut the onions, bell peppers and carrots in long thin slices.
3. Saute the onions in a little oil, now add the ginger and garlic paste. Wait till the onions turn transparent, then add the peppers and carrots along with the salt, pepper, chili flakes and soy sauce. Toss around for 3 to 4 minutes. Remember to cook on a high flame.
4. Tip: Use a large open pan / vessel so that mixing/tossing is easier when noodles are added.
Now add the egg noodles and mix all the ingredients well. Taste to see if you need to add any of the other condiments.
5. This is optional - In a separate pan scramble the eggs along with the green onions, some salt and pepper. Add them to the noodles. Enjoy.

These egg noodles can be eaten just as it is, even if you don't have time to make another gravy dish along with it. I just got lucky with my friend cooking too. The left over noodles tasted great even the next day for lunch at work.
