7. Now add spring onions, boiled noodles, paneer and cashew nuts. Stir Well. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, salt, red chili flakes, sugar, vinegar and freshly ground white pepper. Stir well for one to two minutes.
8. Taste and balance the spice, salt, and sugar level as per taste. Turn off the heat.
9. Delicious paneer chow mein is ready to serve.

1. You can use instant noodles, flat noodles, wheat noodles or any other noodles as per availability and taste.
2. You can also use some other veggies like bean sprouts, bok choy, baby corn etc. in this preparation.
3. For stir frying iron wok would be ideal. Do not use non stick woks for stir frying as frying is to be done on high heat and this can damage the non stick coating.
