Garlic Noodles

கார்லிக்/ பூண்டு நூடுல்ஸ் (Garlic Noodles)

Garlic Noodles is my family’s all time favorite recipe. This is an easy to prepare recipe. Minced garlic gives a good taste and nice flavor. I prefer bell pepper, onion and green onion for this recipe. I avoid sugar, vinegar and aginamoto because it is unhealthy.

Adding little bit of oil to the cooked noodles removes stickiness.
