• Keep on stirring continuously and stir fry the onions till they become translucent.
• Add the veggies – carrots, capsicum and french beans.
• Continue to toss and stir fry on a high flame till the veggies are almost cooked.
• Use a pan with handles as its better to lift it while tossing.
• You can also decrease the flame if the heat becomes too much too handle and then stir fry the veggies on a medium flame.

• Add the soy sauce, celery, salt and pepper. Mix well.

• Check the taste and add more salt, black pepper or soy sauce if required to the stir-fried veg noodles.
