Street Style Chinese Bhel
Street Style Chinese Bhel is spicy crunchy juicy noodle salad made with crispy noodles and veggies, flavored with Indo Chinese flavors.
Very famous IndoChinese street food, Chinese bhel is made out of crispy fried noodles tossed in Indo Chinese sauce along with fresh crunchy veggies, herbs like scallions and cilantro. When you are craving that desi Chinese food, this is the quick and super tasty dish you want to make! This recipe requires crispy noodles. I sometimes make them at home and sometimes just use store bought when I am on time crunch! I have used La Choy Chow Mein Noodles and really likes as a quick and easy option! These crunchy noodles are a great topper for soups too, like this SPICY MANCHOW SOUP.
If you know me, you know my love for Indo Chinese food. And when it is crispy & crunchy, it is a huge bonus, like this recipe. I see it as a flavor bomb salad with much needed nutrients, amazing flavors, texture. Eating raw cabbage in salad is not that common but when served like this, no one can say no! I have many street style Indo Chinese recipes on my blog, but this one has a special spot in my heart.
I am not a big fan of boring salads, but serve me this everyday and I am your best friend. This salad/Street Style Chinese Bhel has two different types of cabbage, beetroots, scallions and cilantro. It is also great one to prep ahead. Have all your veggies ready and crispy noodles ready. When you crave it, simply mix it all with just some sauces and seasoning. Hope you give it a try.

Happy and Healthy Eating!
