The Chinese Bhel is a classic Indian Chinese street food from Mumbai that is made with a blend of crispy noodles, Indian and Chinese chutneys and some raw vegetables. The first time I had it was at my in-laws home when the cook just whipped up some deep fried noodles and tossed it along with chutneys and raw vegetables. As much as I relished eating this super delicious Chinese Bhel (Fried Noodle Salad), I had never made it until this date.

But now, with the Airfryer I was able to churn out crispy noodles that are not deep fried. So here you go, you now have a recipe for the Chinese Bhel that is healthy and you can eat it with no guilt too. And I for sure am going to be making the Chinese Bhel more often than before.

Serve the Chinese Bhel immediately as a tea time snack to relish as healthy for kids after school.

Ingredients

    1 pack Hakka Noodles
    1 tablespoon Oil, for air frying the noodles
    1 Onion, thinly sliced
    1 cup Cabbage (Patta Gobi/ Muttaikose), thinly sliced
    1 Green Bell Pepper (Capsicum), thinly sliced
    1 Carrot (Gajjar), thinly sliced
    1 Tomato, finely chopped
    2 tablespoon Sweet Chutney (Date & Tamarind), or more to taste

    Salt, to taste

Instructions for Chinese Bhel Recipe - Crispy Noodle Salad

    1

    To begin making the Chinese Bhel, get all the vegetables ready and the chutneys and sauces ready and keep them aside when we get the noodles ready.

    2

    To begin making crispy noodles, we will first half cook the Hakka Noodles in boiling water with a little salt. Once the noodles are half cooked, drain the water and wash it under cold water to prevent more cooking.

    3

    Once the noodles have cooled down, toss the noodles in a tablespoon of oil.

    4

    Next step is to air fry them. Note that you have to fry the noodles in small batches at a time to get perfect crispy noodles.

    5

    Cut an 8 x 8 inch foil, pinch its edges to fit into the air fryer basket. Make sure there is an inch gap towards the edges so there is room for air circulation. I also pricked a few holes in the foil for air circulation.

    6

    Place the oiled half cooked noodles onto the foil lined basket and place it into the air fryer at 180 C for 15 to 20 minutes. You have to take the basket out every 7 minutes to toss the noodles and place it back inside for air frying.

    7

    After about 15 minutes, you will notice that the noodles have become crisp. Take it out and keep aside.

    8

    The next step is to make the Chinese Bhel (Crispy Noodle Salad).

    9

    Into a large bowl stir in all the vegetable and sauces and the noodles. Do s tossing motion with two spoons and stir well to combine. Check the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste.

    10

    Serve the Chinese Bhel immediately as a tea time snack to relish as healthy for kids after school.
