Notes

Ensure all the vegetables are either shredded or chopped thin. We want it all to mix like a bhel.

All the sauces we use have a lot of salt. So only add salt if required; after tasting.

Chinese bhel is best enjoyed fresh after making. It tends to get soggy quickly.

Add finely chopped green chili for more spice.

To make ahead of time, prepare the sauce mix, fry the noodles and chop the vegetables. Simply assemble prior to serving.

Add more vegetables or balance the sauces based on taste preference.
