Each ingredient gives it an uplifting taste, especially the spices which are one of the most obvious flavors. It’s great in every way. There are a few things that can make it even better. I’ll try to give you at least some tips on how to get the best out of this tasty manchow soup recipe.

Moreover, manchow soup recipe originated from Meghalaya in India and carries the distinct flavor of its birthplace as well. This makes it unique and therefore it stands out among the many soup dishes of this cuisine.

Crispy Noodles:

This Veg manchow soup recipe is amazing on its own but you can make it even better, just by making a few tweaks. You’ve already guessed what I’m talking about from the title; so I’ll just skip the suspense and get to the point.

To make the noodles nice and crunchy for your manchow soup recipe,  you just need to do a few extra steps.

Your work begins just after the noodles have been boiled. Firstly, drain all the excess water from the noodles. Spread the noodles on a tray for about 30 minutes to make sure they’re completely dry. Next, sprinkle 2 or 2 and a half tablespoons of cornflour and gently coat the noodles. 

Then heat 1 cup oil in a frying pan. Once it’s hot, drop some of the noodles in the oil. Fry till one side is crispy and light brown, then turn and fry the other side. 

Repeat this with the rest of the noodles. It will be much easier to fry them if you make 4 or 5 batches of noodles. Also, make sure to check if the oil is hot before frying the next batch.

A Few More Tips

Although there isn’t much to talk about here, I’ll want to share some tips to make your experience with this recipe a lot better.  

I’ve said this before in many recipes and I will say it again, “always read the whole recipe first then actually try it”. Many mistakes and accidents can be avoided by this and that is why I highly emphasize it.

Also, make sure to not overcook your manchow soup. The vegetables may turn mushy and ruin the recipe.
