Making Crispy noodles for the chopsuey

1. First we have to parboil the noodles i.e. to cook them 70 to 80 %. If the noodles are completely cooked they will be soggy and sticky while deep-frying. So cook them al dente i.e. firm to bite. For this boil enough water in a deep broad pan.
   
2. Add a pinch of salt.
   
3. Also add a little oil.
   
4. Add the noodles and let them boil till they are 70-80% cooked.
   
5. Drain and rinse with cold water to avoid further cooking. Before you deep-fry the noodles see that they are well drained and dry.
   
6. Now heat oil in a deep non-stick kadhai, add 2 cups of hakka noodles and spread it evenly to form a layer and deep-fry.
   
7. Once the bottom layer is golden brown turn over the noodles and fry them on the other side, so that they are golden brown from both the sides and also crisp.
   
8. Drain on an absorbent paper. Similarly make one more batch of fried noodles.
   

Making the saucy topping for the Chop Suey

1. Combine the cornflour with 1½ cups of water in a deep bowl, mix well and keep aside.

11. Mix well and cook for 1 minute, while stirring occasionally.
12. Now add the cornflour-water mixture.
    
13. Mix well and add the vinegar.
